    Running rich, failing emissions

    Still runs just as bad, so I opened it back up to standard rpm to keep it idling. Temp sensor is at .347

    Running rich, failing emissions

    Thermostat is installed, I believe it is a 190.

    Running rich, failing emissions

    Alright, thanks AJ, found the screw. Tightening it all the way down made it run like a pig, exhaust smells like raw gasoline. Loosening, however, obviously leaned me out and made things smell better. So where do I stand here, hahah... (?)

    Running rich, failing emissions

    Okay, coil reads primary resistance at 1.2 ohms....WAY high? Secondary is 11.24 k ohms. Thanks AJ, that's sounding a little familiar, I'll go out and see what's up.

    Running rich, failing emissions

    I wasn't aware that there was an adjustment screw on top of there...there doesn't look to be anything like that. Are you talking about the dash pot? Cat was brand new, I'd say replaced February last year. I was testing it via the TSRM method. Checked wire resistance, only 16 k ohms.

    Running rich, failing emissions

    Alright, I just went out and pulled the high tension spark wire, held it about a half inch from the front fender and had my bro crank the engine for a few seconds. I'm getting an orange spark from it.....would you say weak? I can't check the resistance at the coil because I can't figure out how...

    Running rich, failing emissions

    Okay, so I just went out, disconnected the electrical connector on the cold start. The ohm readout is at ~4.1-4.2 across the two terminals. Close enough for spec you think? I did leave it disconnected and let her heat up, ran at around 1100 rpm the entire drive, but once I parked it, it slowed...

    Running rich, failing emissions

    No codes. Good idea on the cold start injector.....maybe I should add that the engine only seems to be bogging out when coming back to idle after it has been warmed up. I did replace a couple of plug wire ends with broken rubber boots where they mate with the head, could have been arcing out...

    Running rich, failing emissions

    So I've been tinkering and trying to pass emissions here in AZ for the past 2 weeks, I'm running very rich. My first test kicked back %5.98 CO at idle (%1.20 standard) with 449 HC (220 standard). I immediately went home with a can of starting fluid and sprayed around for vacuum leaks, found and...

    Wondering if you got those emissions readings fixed, I have just about the same numbers...gonna start pulling things apart in the morning, the spark plugs might give me a few hints.
