Howdy vanagonauts,  I'm having trouble getting my 1982 westy to pass
Utah emissions.  Scary thing is that it has a new (3000 miles)
aircooled 2.0 l FI engine.  I thought it would be no problem to pass.
But NOT!!  I'm failing on the idle HC and CO.

Last Friday for the first try, the mechanic tested the engine cold and
got HC at 469 (passing is 220 or less), and 2.83 on CO (passing is
1.2% or less)  The higher 2500 RPM test resulted in HC 203 and CO at
0.979 % which was passing just barely passing there.

I figured that it was just the cold engine.  So today I drove it until
it was completely at operating temp quick thoughts on where to start
or what to check?  The engine sounds perfectly VW to me.  The idle is
running about 1100 and I'm wondering if that's slightly high.

It sure would be nice to go camping but no registration..............  No fun!!
