Well, I tuned up the 914 (72 1.7) and drove the hell out of it before my emissions test. It failed HC at idle, here's the results:

HC
Loaded Reading: 123 PASS
Loaded Standard: 400

Idle Reading: 431 FAIL
Idle Standard: 400

CO
Loaded Reading: 0.27 PASS
Loaded Standard: 4.2

Idle Reading: 0.30 PASS
Idle Standard: 5.50

I set the ECU all the way counter clockwise and adjusted my idle to around 1100 for the test. Maybe I set this the wrong way? I set it per Brad Anders' webpage suggests. Or maybe TPS?

Since I passed so well on the others, I don't want to undo what I did right for my idle test. Could be a vacuum leak I have a 200-300 rpm hunt - hoses check out so I am left with plenum gaskets, cold start gaskets or a cracked plenum.

Gimme some ideas!
