I took my truck in to have it tested and it failed the hydrocarbon part. it tested 4.73 and the limit is 2.20. I know the
o2 sensor is bad so I got a new one, the problem is I broke the old one trying to get it out. I'll try and get that later. After a little research though, that might not have been the issue anyway.
Eventhough it passed the visual inspection of presence of a catalytic converter, it doesn't have one. The previous owner probably removed it because I didn't. So, my question is, is 4.73 HC a lot? Would some new spark plugs and a cap & rotor clean it up, or am I going to have to put a converter on it?
On the CO test it had 13.50 and the limit is 55.00 and the NOx it had 2.10 with a limit of 3.50
Thanks
