Anyhting 72-92 requires that you meet the levels I explained (all done at idle). any thing post 92 has stricter requirement, inclunding CO below 1% much lower HC PPMs, a test of the CO% at a faster speed than idle, and a test of the catalytic converter, which wasn't required on new cars until June '92. -- Carl Robson The poster formally known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
