I think I now hold the title for the worst emissions results ever. Here in Washington, we have a two part test, at idle and at 2500 rpm(on a set of rollers for newer cars, to simulate a load). I pegged the HC reading at idle, and was three times too high at 2500 rpm. It's in the shop as I type this getting fixed. While I don't really like the idea of driving around in a toxic vehicle, I do think it's kind of funny that my bus could generate those numbers and still run. Oh well. Has anyone beat my numbers? I'm kind of curious. Here are the results:
HC Max. Allowable Idle: 9999 0900 2500rpm: 2845 0900
