Ok, I knew it was going fail, but I didn;t think it would fail so nicely. I bought it from Idaho, where it's exempt, and the CARFAX showed previous emissions failures, so this was not unexpected.
First, the numbers. HC was 73, max 88. CO was 0.23, max 0.55. NO is what failed, 947, max 768, and only on the 15MPH test. All of them passed at 25. Since it passed at 25MPH, is EGR suspect? That's an easy replacement, but I'm wondering if the cat is gutted. The CO2 was 14.8 and 15, and o2 was 0.2 and 0.1.
Second, I failed evap. How likely is it that it's tank related? Can i get away with replacing the charcoal canister?
This, I had visual failures because "the cat was welded instead of bolted on." OK, whatever, that's $40 at a muffler shop to weld flanges on. He failed me because of the FP gauge on the rail and the ScanMaster. Also, because the stock vacuum lines were replaced with new ones that "don't look stock". This is my first go with any emissions testing, much less CA, so this is all new to me.
