Exclamation Almost Failed smog

The High speed did not change much at all but the low speed did to the point where it almost failed. I havent really driven that car more than 2500 miles in the last year. Here are the results from 2005 compared to 2006.

Low Speed Results

April 2005 - 66,510 Miles
HC (PPM) Standard 117 Current Reading 15
CO (%) Standard 0.65 Current Reading 0.01
CO2 (%) 14.8
O2 % 0.4
NOx (ppm) Standard 879 Current Reading 441
Dillution (%) >6 14.8

April 2006 - 69,074 Miles

HC (PPM) Standard 117 Current Reading 108
CO (%) Standard 0.65 Current Reading 0.36
CO2 (%) 14.9
O2 % 1.0
NOx (ppm) Standard 879 Current Reading 213
Dillution (%) >6 15.3

Yeah I just got through going through the emissions crap. My car kept failing HC. It needed a .08 to pass and kicked out a .26
I replaced the converter with a high flow one. It did better .18 but it still failed. So I replaced the oxygen sensors and did a full tune up. $1500 later it passed.

I hate emissions.

How old is the gas in there? Crap fuel doesn't burn the same as fresh gas. I wish the limits up here were that high then I'd have no problem passing.

It may just need a tune up. The limits here are half of the ones you listed above.
