Do you have the actual readings from the test, ppm of HC you are at, and ppm requirement to pass?

Are you ok on all the others, CO & NOx? Are you passing with flying colors or just barely passing?

Did you drive the car very hard before taking it to the test station to make sure the cat was up to temp?

What sensors have you replaced?

I'm slightly confused - Did the amount of hydrocarbons go up from you last test, or... From your last test results it was only putting out about an extra 50% over the max.

Did you run any sort of fuel/engine cleaner?
