how about plug wires fuel filter clean throttle body/intake but mostlly sounds like 02 sensor. Did they suggest what could it be thats wrong.

May have a bad catalytic converter especially since both Hydrocarbons and CO are so far out of specifications. If you have the original converter the I would say it is time to replace it.

I talked to my uncle(a mechanic) and he said i need to change my o2 sensor and he said i need to buy a carborator cleaner to clean it out..... and i ask him what about a catalystic converter and he said since u have a carborater car its not that because your NO charts are pretty good so i need more opinions?

thx!!!

I had a hell of a time with my '85 Ranger. Turned out that the 'guts' of the catylitic converter were blown out and that had clogged the muffler. A technician at Meineke figured it out. He dropped the inlet on the convertor and showed me it was empty. He fixed it and I passed with flying colors. Even though I had over 300,000 miles on it :tongue:
