I just went down to the test station and got the 85 checked. It turns out it would not pass. It failed on the idle due to high HCs It was 846ppm and limit is 220, however cruise was around 80ppm out of 220ppm limit. So, it is having trouble at idle. This looks to me to be a Vacuum leak problem. It also idles rough. If you have any other possible suggestions, let me know. I need this engine to last till I get another engine ready to swap in. It has 175K on it so its days are numbered.
