Default 2nd time emission test failed ,need some feedback

<center><img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y172/sdsurfer/Resizeofemission.jpg"></center><p>
Replaced all 4 O2 sensors last week and went to test only station today..still no luck.


the problem is the HC(PPM) at idle which measured 146 (max 100 ) ...Others passed,no Chk engine light ,no faulty codes.I'll submit the chart soon.

Any opinion on this ?I wonder what might be the cause ?

I am at stage 2+ with following setup only
AMS Chip
Labree DP with 400 celll cats
APR catback.

get those cats really HOT before testing. No reason why you shouldn't pass with stock injectors

2nd. As long as no CEL codes and heated enough should pass.

Default Add some DryGas to the tank & get some cheap 87 or 90 Oct. gas

Your running rich!!! get more Air (Air intake) or Lean it w/ Lemmi.

Default Running rich = colder exhaust gas temps = less efficient catalysis of exhaust fumes.

You could try the additive called something like "guaranteed to pass" made by either Berryman or CRC (IIRC); my local AutoZone sells it and it eliminated a CEL on an old beater of mine before. But you really need to fix the root cause in the long run.

Default spark plugs?

Any condition that can cause a misfire can result in high HC.
