87 TII Failed Emission's
Hello gentlemen -
I am bringing the Turbo II out of the barn ... I went to get the emissions done after driving it about 45 minutes before. Since I got it running (out of the barn) I have only put about 25 miles on it ...
On the 25/25 test she failed on HC's with a reading of 431 and CO% 4.72
On the 50/15 it passed with a reading of 97 and 0.27 -- I really dont understand this because its more of a load - It would seem like it would fail on this one not the "light load" test ...
Also the engine is idleing at about 1500 and bounces between 1500-1600 ... Up and down up and down ... Any ideas?

Thanks Rotary - After some investigation - The hose that goes from the air pump to the air filter housing is none existant. I made another hose this evening. Also pulled the plugs and checked them.
I also think I made a fatal mistake in that I let the car idle for 10-15 minutes waiting in line for my test - My theory is this allowed the engine to load up on fuel ...RICH... thus why on the second test the numbers dropped dramatically.
I am going to search for TPS adjustment rather than asking ... unless you have instructions easily handy!

if you have WORKING air injection, letting the car idle is good, as the cat gets hot, and they work better when they are hot. what you don't want to do is turn it off. its very common for the Air Control Valve to be bad, or have the vacuum lines crossed

J9 - Shame on me ... I do not have a shop manual.
This evening I went searching for the TPS. . . On the radiator side of the intake I see a black sensor with a "button" that us up against the throtle (looks like a TPS) ... However I do see an adjustment - It just has two 10mm bolts holding it.

Sure you do. It was given to you in the previous post. You just have to pay attention to little details.

My mistake - I didnt realize what fox.ca was ... Thank you.
I just did the adjustment and it did not make any difference. I was able to get it within spec. I am still getting a bounce that is going between 1500 - 1600. I disconnected the TPS and started the engine and it stayed at 2k rpm and did not drop ... I am wondering if after years of sitting if the TPS is bad.

Well - I seem to have corrected the idle bounce ... I did a coolant flush this afternoon and the idle is is about 900rpm. The coolant that was in at was nasty ... I imagine one (or more) of the senors were not able to get the coolant temp to the computer.
Bravely - I took the car for another Emissions test and it failed even worse ... I had the car on the lift this afternoon also and I am not getting much of a temperature change after the cats ... I imagine they are shot ... Thats Monday...
Ill keep everyone posted. Thank you for your continued support! Slowly but surely we will have another Turbo S4 on the road ( Legally!!!)

Jack - I am going to try and make this as easy to read as I can ...
For the 25/25 test
HC ppm - 464
CO% - 5.38
NoXppm- 86
CO+Co2% - 16.2
RPM - 2938
For the 50/15 Test
HCppm - 412
CO% - 4.97
NoXppm- 89
CO-Co2- 16.1
RPM - 3000
Obviously the car is running very rich ... with the HC's so high
J9 - I was looking through the FSM on Fox.ca - I see where it says to test specific things - However I have to admit - I can certainly perform the tests - However I am not sure what it would mean or exactly what it would need to fix if something were wrong.
Could you perhaps give me a couple things to check and I can report back?

Thats what I thought. When the car was up on the lift yesterday I looked at the temperatures going in and coming out ... from what I understand you want to see at least a 10% increase on the back side of the cat ... I maybe had 5 degrees.
Thanks for the confirmation. Fortinutly, I have a friend who owns a muffler shop...

New cat and two cherry bombs out back ... Car sounds awesome and passed emissions!
HC's dropped literally to like 15! Co2 % was like 0.04!
Thanks guys! Case Closed!
