RE: [Peugeot-L] Emission failure NOx

What I did to pass: Ran the tank down to maybe three gallons. Put in a gallon of denatured alcohol. Drove to the test place a gear lower than usual for more revs. Passed!

Subject: [Peugeot-L] Emission failure NOx  

My '87 XN6 505 wagon just failed the dyno/cruise portion of the emmisions inpection here in MA. Maybe some other owners can give suggestions on what to do. The HC and CO are within spec but the NOx is 4.13, the limit is 3.00.

Car runs super, cat converter is a year old, O2 sensor is new as are plugs, cap and wires. Ignition timing is to spec also.

Besides changing the oil, getting out on the highway, and adding some Techron, what else can I do before going back for a retest in hopes of passing?

PS I don't want to monkey with the mixture.

Thanks,
