[DML] Re: catalytic converter question



## This is from the original poster ##
First of all, I would like to thank everyone helping solving the problem.

This is my final report on my smog problem.  After I read all the responses, I decided to 
replace all the fuel injectors and the catalytic converter (CAT).  This is after I check the O2 
sensor, ignition wiring, spark plug gap size, vacuum leak.  I changed the fuel injectors 
because it does not cost that much to put a new one in.   Last night, I installed the new 
CAT.  To my surprise, there is nothing inside in the CAT.  It is just an empty container.
After I stalled the CAT, the exhaust gas smell much better now.  The car is also not as 
noisy as before.   I did the smog check the car this morning, and it passed with wide 
margin.


Old result;

  RPM=2292 (at 15mph)
  HC_MAX = 141 HC_GP=331 HC_MEAS = 161
  CO_MAX = 0.99 CO_GP=2.49 CO_MEAS=0.66
  NOX_MAX = 1148 NOX_GP = 2270 NOX_MEAS = 2211
  CO2_% = 14.1
  O2_% = 0.8
 
  RPM=2408 (at 25mph)
  HC_MAX = 113 HC_GP=263 HC_MEAS = 156
  CO_MAX = 0.79 CO_GP=2.29 CO_MEAS=0.66
  NOX_MAX = 978 NOX_GP = 2070 NOX_MEAS = 2276
  CO2_MEAS% = 14.1
  O2_MEAS% = 0.7

New results: (all _GP terms become _AVG)

  RPM=1847 (at 15mph)
  HC_MAX = 141 HC_AVG=45  HC_MEAS = 8
  CO_MAX = 0.99 CO_AVG=0.16 CO_MEAS=0.01
  NOX_MAX = 1148 NOX_AVG = 434 NOX_MEAS = 654
  CO2_MEAS% = 14.8
  O2_MEAS% = 0.2
 
  RPM=2403 (at 25mph)
  HC_MAX = 113 HC_AVG=33 HC_MEAS = 6
  CO_MAX = 0.79 CO_AVG=0.14 CO_MEAS=0.00
  NOX_MAX = 978 NOX_AVG = 357 NOX_MEAS = 620
  CO2_MEAS% = 14.8
  O2_MEAS% = 0.2
  
  MEAS= AMOUNT MEASURED
  AVG=AVERAGE EMISSION FOR PASSING VEHICLES
  GP= GROSS POLLUTER LIMITES
