Subject:      emissions test failed
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Recent emission test revealed the following results for my 87GL 2wd.


Can any of you list members suggest what needs to be fixed?
So far I have replaced plugs, cap/rotor, air filter and oil.
But I have a suspicion the catalytic converter or O2 sensor may be bad.
