Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as replacement as non-genuine are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units. This results in the fault codes not cancelling out

SOURCE: SLK stalling problem

no if the fuel pump is failing it wont start. what about fuel filter ? what you can do is find a shop with a scope and they can check the fuel pump on it and look at the wave pattern and can tell you good or bad. but when it happens and you cant hear it it is time to check it properly before it leaves you stranded.

You have to check ur idle speed controller, that is located at the back of battery protected by a plstic shield, remove the shield and remove a small controller located next to the computer compartment and check the fuse, the problem wd b solved by replacing the fuse otherwise u will have to replace the idle speed controller, if this will not fix the problem, ur computer has to be reset by company, hope this will fix the problem

Why are my emissions test-HC(ppm) and CO(%) high?

High HC means its running rich, high CO usually means your Catalytic converter is clogged or inefficient. There are many reasons for this but in my experience the main one is a faulty O2 sensor giving the wrong signal to the ECU. You should have noticed that your fuel consumption had increased (or your miles per gallon had decreased) at about the same time yourO2 sensor failed. It is worth getting a diagnostic check done on your vehicle to try and confirm this. Suspect new cat needed but you still need to find the cause otherwise you will ruin your new cat

What causes co & hc readings to high

HC is raw or un burnt fuel. CO is incomplete combustion meaning the air fuel is burnt but not burnt completely. check O2 sensors for operation, fuel pressure, gas in oil or how long has it been since an oil change. check engine timing, dirty injectors. when was the last time a tune-up was done plug/wire condition is the air filter clean. just some things to check

1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5L HC & CO Emissions failed 2nd time. Replaced Catalytic Converter, Oxygen Sensor, Fuel Pump & Filter. It Passes everything else. I need advise please.

Failing HC and CO means the fuel mixture is too rich.
You may need a 4 gas analyzer to figure out why to know when it is fixed. Could be a leaking injector, restricted air intake, ignition problem, or a long list of other things. Even a faulty thermostat could cause it to run rich.

I failed emissions test. The HC and CO both failed. I was told by a family member that it sounds like the catalytic converter and I wanted to know how much that would cost or estimated cost to replace

Rich fuel mixture is leaking fuel injectors,failed oxygen sensors

Need clean air filter,new spark plugs

An Exhaust Converter is only good for 12 to 14 years max then
it has to go
