Im not sure if I'm gonna put the acetone in since since I've had the car I put fuel injector cleaner in and the guarenteed to pass. IDK if too much can ruin things or not though. When testing the TPS does the car need to be running? Or can I take it out and test it that way? Yeah 2000+ is ridiculous, there's no way it can jump 500% from the 2nd reading just from a fuel filter.

Whatttttt
Ok so I had it re-inspected for the 4th time today. I didn't change anything, just had to inspect it so I can get more time until I get my exhaust done. I had mommy drive it since I had school. All the other times it was inspected it was above 80 degrees F except today it was in the morning at about 60 degrees F. Also, I didn't drive it for a while before so everything was all warmed up. Somehow it passed with an HC reading of 38!!! I have no idea how that happened since I did nothing to the car since the 3rd inspection. How weird is that?? Anyway, I'm a happy a$$ camper since I don't have to worry about driving a failed car around anymore

Here are some notes from a Wiki (generic):
High hydrocarbon emissions from a vehicle may be caused by improper ignition timing, faulty ignition, misfiring problems, vacuum leaks, worn piston rings or valves or an exhaust gas recirculation system incorrectly operating at idle. One fouled spark plug can result in extremely high hydrocarbon emissions. Start by replacing the spark plugs and plug wires. Replace every single vacuum line under the hood. Replace them one at a time, so as to not get confused. Clean you EGR Valve of any carbon deposits, and make sure it is functioning correctly. Pour a can of a good Fuel Injector cleaner such as Seafoam or Techron in a full tank of fuel. Leave the cheap stuff on the shelf, as is does very little good. To remove built up carbon deposits, inject it through the intake by following the directions on a can of Seafoam. Have someone check the timing on this vehicle. Check the smog pump to see if it is functioning. A compression check will verify if you have worn rings or a burnt valve. |

Idk if you read this from the beginning but I had had some hesitation at highway speeds. So OT plugged it in and showed something with the left O2 sensor. He checked it, it was wired up wrong because it was a universal O2 sensor with no plug. Since it was all screwed up it would retard timing and some other things which werent good. Anyway I think that could have been the culprit or the whole thing.
