CO---------want 1.12 -- got 2.36-------want 1.01 got 2.41
NOx--------want 1258 -- got 2775-------want 1378 got 2759


New parts: O2, Engine temp sender, plugs, rotor, cap, wires, Mobil 1, timing belt.
Valve lash is off and audible. Exhaust smells rich. Will a new cat be enough?


Thanks in advance,

Bob
