2quik6 - Yep, swapped in the stock chip for both tests.
The IL test doesn't really have an idle and high speed test. They have a dyno test that is ~5 minutes, that's supposed to simulate city driving in the first half and highway in the second (with accelerating, decelerating, and cruising 0-55 mph.)
From what I can tell, HC's were lowest during steady acceleration and cruising, and worst during short blips of acceleration.
One concern you mentioned that I did think of -- while I was doing the gascap test (during the entire test of the car in front of me), they had me shut the car off. The engine stayed warm, but I wonder how much this allowed the cat to cool off?
I'm hoping to get some TurboLink #'s...but my only laptop (from work), is Win2k with no floppy drive!
turbosix6 - I thought that a stock TTA fp regulator was 45 psi??
I would like to find somewhere to take the test before I go back for the official one, to make sure it will pass this time -- and I will pour some form of alchohol (gtp, heet, etc) to the tank before I test it again.
One thing I did forget to mention - when I changed the plugs, the old ones looked OK. They did have a thin, dry, "copper-ish" colored coating on the electrodes...if this indicates anything?
