High CO Emissions Due to Restricted Air Intake

Diagnosing a Failed Emissions Test - High HC, CO and NOx Causes and Repairs

A restricted air filter prevents sufficient oxygen from entering the combustion chamber, leading to a rich mixture. Inspect the engine air filter visually for clogs, heavy dust, or debris. If the filter is obstructed, it prevents the engine from achieving the stoichiometric air-fuel ratio of 14.7:1.
