Went for my emissions test in Chicago, they use a dynamic test on a dyno. I drive a '91 9K with SQR chips. I knew I would fail as soon as the operator got the car into gear. He shifted out of 1st at around 4500RPM, missing 2nd, so the engine free revved for a few seconds while he hunted for the gear. I winced as this happened repeatedly over the next few minutes. The car failed the HC miserably with a reading of 1.76 gpm( 0.126 allowed.)
I asked the station manager for a retest in a different lane. 15 minutes later the car PASSED with HC readings of only 0.074 gpm.!!
I wonder how many trips to the garage could be saved by insisting on a retest in a situation like this.
