idle and emission problems

Post by nimac »

My GTX went through the MOT this week :beers:

however the mechanic highlighted a few problems.

Firstly, the emissions were extremly high but he made some sort of adjustment to reduce these, something to do with reducing the idling. How can i bring the emissions down without affecting the idling.

Secondly, he said it may need a cold start solenoid which would help the idling, is this true?

Any help, much appreciated.

Nigel.
