Subject:      Emissions Help in VA
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii


Help!
Just bought a used 84" Westfalia, very
nice shape and a very good deal.
Had it VA inspected and emissions
tested. Pasted the inspection, got tags
and I am on the road, BUT it failed the
emissions by a fair bit.
At 15 MPH:
HC ppm limit is 183, I was 271
CO% limit is 1.65, I was 9.75
At 25 MPH:
HC ppm limit is 179, van was 268
CO%  limit is 2.22, van was 9.73
I got one suggestion to have van warm
and running for over 30 min., because
Vanagons run rich when cold, or not
warmed up.


Any other ideas or help?
I have 30 days to fix it.
Thanks,
Matthew E. Utterback
