Are you sure the car was fully warmed up? I usually go for at least a 30 minute highway drive before going into the testing place. And they also tell you not to turn off the car (if you've in line - let it idle) before the test.

You might be on to something there.
No the car was not very warm, and it did sit for quite a while prior to the test.
I have not run it hard for quite awhile, due to icy roads. Think it might help to bump it against the rev limiter a few times?
From the little bit of research I did on Rennlist, it looks like a warm car might show HIGHER CO%....though I may have mis-interpreted all the tech talk. Your thoughts?
As I noted, CO was way low at idle, but over by 0.1 at 2500 revs....do these cars tend to just skate under the max?
