Ford Focus emmisions

[Markb03]

Hi all,

I have a Mark 1.5 2001 Ford Focus 1.6 Ghia. Today it had its MOT and some of the readings look high.

Can you please give me any advice on these.

Fast Idle Test
CO: Limit: 0.200 Actual value: 0.200 Pass
HC: Limit: 200 Actual value: 111 Pass
Lambda: Min limit: 0.970 Max Limit: 1.030 Actual Value: 1.017 Pass

Natural Idle Test
CO: Limit: 0.300 Actual value: 0.176

As you can see the CO just passed on fast idle. I am led to believe the cat is playing up but unsure.

Any help or advice on the other figures would be great.

Many thanks

Have you tried a good Italian tune up?

Look about right to me, possibly just not got enough heat into the catalyst
