Re: IML: 69 Won't pass emmissions

["jsadowski" <jsadowski@xxxxxxx>]

I put on a Carter 9636 that I got from Jegs Performance. I finally got it to 
pass. I went in a different line this time. The tester told me " one more 
time through & they would need to put me on the payroll".
   The HC standard under load is 450 & it passed at 197. Idle standard 450, 
passed at 256.
    The Co test under load is the one I was having trouble passing. The 
standard 3.75 & finally passed at 3.69. Co idle standard 5.00 passed at .46.
