as 65Shelbyclone said. we need the numbers

O2, NOx, CO2, HC, CO without those we're guessing. but HC is unburned fuel which normally coinsides with a misfire.

Yeah, but what are the limits in your state? Here in CA, you will not pass without one. It's hard enough to get through with a cat converter.

With that said, I love it when people join, post a question, and then never come back.
