High hydrocarbon emissions
I live in California, with its very stringent emission controls. Every two
years I dread having to pass the emissions test because my hydrocarbons are always just a shade under the permissible amount. I bet, this year they are going to nail me. I am driving a 1993 Chevrolet Lumina Four-door with the 6 cylinder engine and 90,000 miles. Running fine, year after year. Is there anything I can do, like adding some chemicals to my oil, to reduce my hydrocarbon emissions? Thanks for any help -- Walter -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

High hydrocarbon emissions
Some things work best after they are hot e.g. O2 sensor and catalytic converter. The best thing you can do is make sure the car is warmed up and the spark plugs are clean. A few miles at 70 or 80 mph (after the engine is at normal operating temperature) should do it. "Walter R." wrote: > > I live in California, with its very stringent emission controls.
