Ok code 0300 is a random multiple cylinder misfire. probably ignition related is my guess. i would check the coil pack and ignition module and go from there.

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

IAC count is lower than expected cant pass emmissions

Hello, you probably have a trouble code P0506 stored in the system, this will keep from passing test. real simple fix. the throttle body is dirty, this will cause not enough air around the throttle body. simply clean out the inside of the throttle body around the throttle plate and bore. you will need to use throttle body cleaner or carb cleaner

93 civic failing emissions test... tested 3 times, replaced plugs, wires, o2 sensor, catalytic, and retarded the timing slightly...passes curb idle...fails all 3 on ASM2525

check for any vacuum leaks, run some injector and combustion cleaner through it, check the pcv valve and the egr valve, and fresh oil, can't think of anything else

I have a missfire in cylinder7 but i have replaced coilpack and sparkplug what else could be causeing this

Fuel supply, air intake and vacuum leak(inside the cylinder). I recommend doing an injector balance test as well as a cylinder leakage (vacuum leaks) test to determine whats causeing the miss.

Got 5 emmission done,it won't pass

you will need to find a shop that does emission repairs. maybe not the guy that inspected and failed it. If a shop has the machine, they should have someone there that knows how to fix your car.

Oil leak wont pass emmissions

Tune up will not stop oil leak. Find out where leak is and fix it. I never heard of oil leak being part of an inspection? Let me guess...You're in California?

1997 tsi awd wont pass emissions

Very well could be, if it will not pass due to a trouble code. If it is the actual emmissions that are tested and then failed due to the CO2 emmisions then it could be a myriad of problems.
