Well I swallowed my pride and did the unthinkable...I put 4ltr of Methal
Hydrate in my firefly with $10 gas and did the e-test.. OMG it passed !!!!

Long story short.. it sat 3 years.. and passed its last test . The
NO ppm was 345, well I ran it yesterday and it was 1899 !!! the garage
said.. converter fro sitting, bla bla $500 to fix.. I said go piss up a tree
the damn exhaust is BRAND NEW.. so I read a newsgroup site saying Methal
Hydrate plus $5.00 in gas run it on the highway and straight to the e-test
so I said $7.95 or $500. Well it worked for me, so if you know your o2
sensor is new egr works and can't seem to pass the test.. give it a try.
Its $7.95 at CDN tire for a bottle. I'm not saying do it ,just try it if you
run out of options..A buddy of mine has a car that has EVERYTHING NEW and it
still failed. He ran the methal hydrate and it passed..barely but dropped i
500 points. Might help somebody out..may piss off a lot of cross posting
retards... cheers

p.s Get it out of your tank asap after the test.. or drive off after you
add some gas to dilute. Causes lines to rust if left too long. It's
basically gas line antifreeze but too much in long usage causes damage. I
drank the stuff...I'me finerer lol Smile

Sounds to me like the gas in the tank went bad from storage.

I always tell people to buy Name Brand Premium Gas a week or so
before the test, drive enough to burn off questionable brew before
tuning up. Air filter can be changed anytime before test, trick is to
keep new plugs clean.
