does the car miss at idle? If so, a set of plugs and wires should help out.

BTW, you might want to crop out all the other information except the actual emission test results.

The "spiking" can cause that. You're numbers look good so I think with new plugs and wires you should be set. If not, you can try to putting E85 (get your tank close to empty and put in a gallon) in. New plugs and wires should work in your case :)

My test looked a lot like that. Except I did a little better on the 2500 part, and did even worse on the idle part lol.

No, they're pretty new. It passed last year when I had a regular cat instead of a high flow one. I called for an extension, and they're giving me until the end of May. So I'm just waiting to get my wideband, ostrich, etc installed so I can do an emissions tune.
