Volvo: 1992 Volvo 960 emission problem, 1992 volvo 960, emmission testing
QuestionOn my last emmission testing, I had a high hydrocarbon reading of 272. The limit is 275. I want to get ready to pass my next inspection. All other inspection readings are excellent! What do I do to get my HC reading to a "normal" level for inspection.
AnswerWill,
H/C's are unburnt fuels, so plugs may miss fire, oil maybe contaminated with gas, injectors may be squirting and not spraying, there by needing a cleaning.
Check for a vacuum leak in the intake system, make sure the timing belt has not jumped a tooth on either cam.
