Toyota RAV4 - 1996 Toyota Rav4 emissions failure - tired_boy

I dont have the actual figures but i was told it wasnt even close to be honest.

The Failure reasons are as follows -

1/ Exhuast emissions carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle excessive
2/ Exhaust emissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits
3/ Exhuast emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Our '98 Corsa failed on emissions last week. As it is used only as a shopping / local trip car it was suggested that it was taken for a good Italian tune up. This was done just before returning to the test station where it passed.

So if your car is not used for any 'serious' driving this may be worth a try.
