I have read that others here in cali PASS with just the main cat. so im just a little confused why i have unburned fuel.




1) Why did it not pass when the hydrocarbon levels came out normal (or within acceptable limits)?

2) Your main cat might be on its way out.

Edit. The scanner was to make sure that the car was in a OBD Ready mode before sending it for inspection. Not whether there was a CEL. The CE light should tell you that there was a code stored by the PCM.
