Congratulations to you ! But alas, I my test failed. Results: HC- 482 ,idle, limit 220. The other readings at cruise and idle passed. The engine is a '95 Golf Motronic 4-cylinder. My spark plugs wires and cap are new and there are no air leaks. Could be dirty injectors or carbon build-up causing rough idle. Compression is over 200 (10:1 comp ratio engine) What can cause such high emissions at idle that I haven't mentioned? Robert 1982 Westfalia
