Thanks to everyone who offered helpful information a few weeks ago! I'm new to the list and was really impressed + pleased with the number of really knowlegable responses I recieved. The good news is, I was able to pass the emmissions test the second time. What I ended up doing was adding a bottle of fuel injector cleaner to a tank of super+ gasoline, drove the van until that was almost gone (not all in one day :), then the day I got the van tested I drove approx. 45 miles on the highway, then drove directly to the emmissions station (at a time when I wouldnt have to wait in line). Thanks again! Jamie 86 Westfalia |
