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.
