Not to derail the class based derailment...



Question for everyone with the Power FC and just the keypad. I'll probably be picking up the datalogger soonish, but for now looking for a little advice to try to pass emissions.



The car will almost pass on the default maps dumped in by SR Motorsports when I bought the computer. Unfortunately I'm running 2-3 PPM too high on the hydrocarbons. Yes. 2-3 PPM. Legal limit around here is 150 PPM, and the closest non-passing test was 151 PPM.



Washington emissions put the car on a roller, and you have to accelerate and hold at a certain speed - been a while since I did the test, want to say it's 25 mph. I know it was right near 3k on the tach, close enough that I began to wonder if closed loop or open loop would be better - I could probably go just over 3k if needed, or stay under 3k and stay in the speed window requested by the test.



I'm fairly certain that if I'm running into higher HC readings, I should lean out the a/f ratio some, to drop the amount of unburned gas. Any other suggestions? (beyond the normal clean air filter, new plugs, etc)



Just looking for ideas. Probably going to be pulling the FD out of the garage for the first time in over a year soon, which will mean getting emissions done, so that I can get current tabs.
