[W126 Coupe] Emissions question

[richard jaffe]

Hello All:

The following are the test results of the emissions test performed this afternoon on my 85 Euro 500 SEC:

               25/25 test                                                                  50/25 test

                      reading             allowed         result                 reading        allowed        result
HC ppm             212                 137              Fail                    216             140             Fail
CO %               1.86                 0.87             Fail                   1.85             0.79           Fail
NOx ppm          1028                 956              Fail                   1036            1046           Pass
RPM                1302                 2500 max                              1357            2500 max
CO+CO2 %       15.5                  6.0 min                                 15.5             6.0 min

The following items are new: 8 fuel injectors w/ air tubes, Beru spark plugs, Beru ignition wires, Distributor cap and rotor button, ICM and various vacuum hoses and vacuum connector, 1 can BG 44 intake system cleaner.

The car now runs great. Just can't seem to satisfy the clean air nazis in this state. Is the mixture too rich?
Any ideas how to rectify this situation? Oh yeah, the car does have catalytic converters.
