I am after some advice please,I have a MY'94 WRX which is rather high on the emission's when within the rev range that they test a car's emission's on an M.O.T. I had an oxygen sensor fitted about 6 months ago and everything was fine,but recently when checked, the emissions fluctuated way over the top of what would be acceptable on an mot,but sometimes were under the limit(in the rev range required for testing).The oil was the correct temp for testing purposes(80 deg/c).
Thanks for any help given.
Dean

Sorry Ron,I can't hear you.Perhaps you would like my exhaust to drown out that droning noise your car is making!
Goon,I'm paying a trip back to my friendly mechanic when he is out of hospital.If i can't afford it,can i borrow your credit card?What's another grand or two!
See you on the 6th guy's,hope you had a good xmas.
Cheers
