Does you engine sound like it has an exhaust leak under the hood? 89 4.0 litres were NOTORIOUS for the exh manifold cracking between #5 and # 6 cylinders. If this is the case, the O2 sensor is not seeing the proper amount of exhaust, and it will send the fuel injectors a richer condition than needed.

What causes too much co in youre exhuast

If you have a fuel sensor check that out. Could need replacing. Also when was the last time you changed the air cleaner filter. A dirty air filter will cause that as well as it can't breath properly. Just some ideas.

Why does my car **** and hesitate and has failed smog 2X is now a gross polluter ?

Because you failed to have a shop look at the data
& make the required repairs & get caught up on preventative
maintenance BEFORE you went to inspection

If you were in fact at a shop, for any reason,then they have no idea
how to test vehicle

Have you considered the motor is shot & you have leaking valves?

I have a 1991 chevy pick up with a 5.7l it failed the test 2

You did not post the odometer reading on the van but base on the year it should has over 85,000+ miles on it.

The most likely source of the high Hydrocarbon (HC) is clogged or drippy injectors.

Change the fuel filter if it is over 48K miles.

Ran two or more tanks full of Chevron gas will help clean out the fuel system.

====

The air fuel ratio can be off is the air filter is clogged or the mass air flow sensor give incorrect data to the computer (ECU).

Change the air filter is it over 20,000 miles or you can see sunlight though it.

Use CRC Mass Air Flow cleaner or electronic part clean to gently clean the mass air flow sensor.

==========

Change the oil to 20W50 or one grade higher to prevent blow by.

You current motor oil is soak with HC from blow by.

=======

Make sure the tires are at 32 psi

=======

Do the smog test is a COLD morning?

=======

REMOVE excess cargo off the van.

=======

These are little things that I would do.

If the HC is still high at 25 mph then you will need a professional fuel injector cleaning or replace the injectors.


Please post more data on the third smog test on the comment window.
