Emissions Failure, My 1986 nissan 300zx failed emissions

I recently did a motor swap on my 1986 300zx. I failed my first emissions test High speed HC 333 CO 3.76 Low speed HC 406 CO 0.07. I replaced spark plugs and distributor and flushed the fuel system and replaced the fuel filter. I also replaced the O2 sensor. After driving it for about 2-3 weeks I had it retested, failed High speed HC 353 CO 4.16 Low speed HC 738 CO 3.86. What could cause it to get worse instead of better?

SOURCE: Emissions test failure due to high co

wal-mart sells a bottle of stuff that guarantees you'll pass smog. But for me id run a can of injector cleaner through the fuel and clean out the intake. Also id try going to the auto part store and getting a plug that one hotter they will know exactly what you mean. It will help burn more fuel but don't keep them in for too long as they run a little hot. One last thing is hit the catalytic converter with a rubber mallet and start the car. Repeat this until you stop getting black ash out of the exhaust pipe. This will be a sure way to get your Camry to pass smog.

Well, if you have the 6 cylinder, there are 3 02 sensors in that car.
One on front manifold, one on back manifold, and one in the center pipe.You changed one, good idea to change the other 2. That is if you have the 6 cyl.

SOURCE: Emissions failing with high NOx

You need to check the oxygen sensor. You car may be running lean and therefore giving you increased NOx levels

1986 NISSAN 300ZX FAILED EMISSIONS HIGH CO

I would replace CATalitic converter, this car is old, plus a tuneup is 100% necessary , spark plugs wires, ditributor cap & rotor, plus both the air & fuel filters need replaced. change oil & filter. then you will pass emissions test. and your car will run like its suppose too. if you don't do all this , then buy a new car !

Failed hc emissions test current reading 1310 on hi speed emissions.

without ALL the emission stats I can only guess but most likely cause would be leaking injector or defective fuel pressure regulator

Hydro Carbons are usally from an engine missfire. It may be that it is such a sligh miss that you cannot feel it. What is your timing set at? I would try setting it at 2* advanced and see what that does for you.

1986 300zx failing low speed NOx emissions test in Texas. Changed cat converter and egr contol valve. What should I look at next? All other checks are OK

these cars are known to have injector failures and that would make you fail a emmission test easily. also i would reccomend looking at your oxygen sensor.
