Hi
I have eventually had the time to finish the MGF project up to mot standard that I started early in the year.
So the car went in the other day and has failed on emissions.
The garage did two fast idle test, first one as follows
CO Level 0.51%
HC Level 99ppm
Lambda 1.03
Now the pass rate for the CO level 0.30%
Second fast idle test results
CO Level 0.36%
HC Level 110ppm
Lambda 1.02
The natural idle test CO Level is 0.48%
So from the looks of things as the car has got hotter/ran more, the emissions did come down a good 0.15%.
The car has had a new head on and replacement piston / sleeve and a complete full service , Russel did the head and piston work so there wont be anything wrong with that. I've put some red ex in half a tank of petrol.
Any other ideas??
Many thanks
Tom
