Hi Scotty!

I have a new to me 1994 chevy truck (5.7 TBI) with 107k miles.  It failed the smog test for HC and CO.  It does smell a bit rich.  Starts and runs fine, no smoke.

I did some digging and found that the temperature sensor may cause it to run rich.  Is there a good (and easy way) to test out the sensor?  I ordered a new one just in case.  

Love the show! Thanks!

Bill


@g00se
Not sure about testing that sensor but I do know high hc and co usually will mean vacuum leak somewhere... at least from my experience.

Thanks for the fast response!  I will look/test for a vacuum leak.  I should also note that there are no error codes (OBD1).
