HI
I have just had my 1990 tipo 1.4 fail the emmisions test..high CO

It is low mileage, 40k, well serviced,,, I have a feeling it may be to do with the cold start mechanism.. but i would appreciate any help or suggestions...
or.. the motor water temp is usually around 75-80, maybe the thermostat is stuck open

many thanks Larry

Try taking it out onto the motorway - keep it at 110 KPH for about 10mins in 4th gear. This will burn off any deposits that could be clogging up the catalyst and clear out the exhaust system. Then take it straight to the garage, while it is still hot and get them to perform the test immediately.

Could work, and dead easy to do.

Fix It Again Tony!
Would swap for X19, Montecarlo Spider or GT.i.e in average/poor condition! Scottish based would be nice.
