I dont do emissions, no gas analyzer, ed was right the guy at the 6th ave station can make about anything pass, mid co sounds like a lean misfire, dirty injecters, vacum leak? good luck.

Leadfoot, since your a mechanic, any tips on getting an 87 GL WGN (1.8L) to pass the Cruise (speed) part of the emissions test. The CO limit is 1.2 and we're coming in at 1.44. I work at a body shop in Seattle and we picked this up WGN for a song and we're trying to make it a parts runner, but having problems getting it to pass emissions. We have a mech, but he mostly does suspension work. We're thinking it might just be fuel 'cuz it's been sitting a lot. It passes the idle test with room to spare. I'm also thinking the carb just needs to be rebuilt. Wadda ya think.

 

the gas cap test is to make sure you have one, on the filler neck. one of the old tests washington had was to measure the diameter of the filler neck to make sure that you hadent enlarged it to accept a leaded fuel nozzle. I repair cars for a living in wa for the past 20 yrs and ed is right, after the state hired subcontracters for emission testing it whent downhill.
