What causes high CO readings in auto emissions test results?

High CO is a rich air/fuel mixture. Nothing else.


What causes co emissions to be high?

High CO emissions are typically caused by incomplete combustion of fuel due to engine issues such as a dirty air filter, malfunctioning fuel injectors, or a faulty oxygen sensor. Other factors can include using low-quality fuel or excessive idling. Regular maintenance and proper driving habits can help keep CO emissions low.


How do you pass emissions with high co?

It depends on what is causing the high Co. It could be anything from dirty engine oil to and O2 censor. You need to find out what it is and fix it.


Will a small hole in your exhaust make your car fail emissions test?

It depends how small it is, but usually yes. The co will go way up.


Why might an '89 Honda Civic fail an emissions test 3 times because of high readings on idling after changing the O2 sensor and catalytic converter?

Depends on which of the readings failed. Was it CO (carbon monoxide), HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrous of oxides), or a combination of them?


How does a burnt exhaust valve affect emissions?

You would get high CO's (unburnt fuel) @ idle and @ high speed, Depending on how bad and how many vales are leaking. It would fail most smog tests. You could do a compression test to see whitch cylinder is low. Hope this helps, Ben Parker, San Jose, Ca.


How do you pass high co emissions 02 accord?

Check for a blowing exhaust this can put your co up. If not you could try putting a fuel threatment into the car and drive it really hard just before you go into the test. If it still fails after that you should go to someone with a diagnostic computer. This will tell if oxygen sensor codes are stored in the car and the data display will show if the cat is working.


What does CO percent mean on emission test?

Its the percentile of the exhaust that is CO (carbon monoxide). The only thing that can make it high is too much fuel. Nothing else. A car with high CO is running "rich" and consuming a lot more gasoline than necessary.


Explain what would happen to CO2 and nox if the co levels were high?

High CO levels can increase the formation of nitrogen oxides (NOx) through reactions with nitrogen in the atmosphere. This leads to increased NOx levels in the air. However, if CO concentrations are high enough, the combustion process in engines can be inefficient, leading to incomplete combustion and higher CO emissions.


will a stna cert from oh transfer to co and if so how?

No you will have to take the test in CO.


What causes high ECO2 in a blood test?

Well If you remember when you breath out you release the CO into the air. If your breathing is not regular and you are not able to remove the extra CO then there could be a problem inside your lungs. Like Bronchitis, Emphysema, or common allergies. Best to check with your doctor.


Have a 1986 300zx nonturbo that is running hot any suggestions as to causes Its failing the Texas emissions test for CO and HO at low idle speed passes at high speed?

Is rad fan coming on? It has 2 temp sensors one for gauge light and one for comp. If one for comp isn't working and telling comp motor is cold it will be dumping extra fuel thru cold start injector I changed the sensor for the computer and it was the problem. Took a while to change it because its in a tight space
