ok so ive only got 10 days and i really need to get my car to pass. here are the numbers

reading limit
HC 4.9903 2.0
CO 21.1271 20.0
CO2 418.9672
NOx 7.4658 3.5

i put in a few thing before the test like put some lucas oil, fuel injector cleaner, and a seal up additive in the oil as well as drove on the highway to get everything really hot.

What should i do?!!!
 
i ran 90% e85 with the wg connected without an safc or any tuning and passed! e85's claim to fame is lower exhaust gas temperatures even if your running it much leaner, sure it may have raised them a little but e85 makes entirely less nox. dropped mine over 4ppm

4PPM is not very much...that's odd how you guys have a stricter standards over there than we do in California. But congrats.
 
it sure seems like a lot when the limit is only 3.5 ppm though. im going to have my brother who is moving to a non-emissions county register my car next year so no more emmissions for me!
thanks everyone for helping me through this
 
Wow finally solved. I would have told the state its a dsm thing, you don't understand.
