Re: IML: 69 Won't pass emmissions

John,

Always change the oil & filter right before you go.  You did not mention 
having done that.  Well, "always" = in the last 30 days or few humdred 
miles, whatever.  Also, make sure your tires are inflated to the max 
allowable, so the engine's not pushing extra load.    Let us know if any 
of this helps.
