After swapping the motor in my nissan 300zx i failed emissions. I figured it was because the car and motor had been sitting awhile. my first test High speed HC 333 CO 3.75 Low speed HC 406 CO 0.07. I ran about 5-6 tanks of gas through it using lucas fuel system cleaner every other tank and changed the fuel filter twice. I replaced the distributor, rotar, cap, wires, and plugs during the motor swap. After flushing the fuel system i had it retested and failed again High speed HC 353 CO 4.16 Low speed HC 738 CO 3.86. I think the timing might be off a little. What would cause my emissions to get worse?

You need to check the oxygen sensor. You car may be running lean and therefore giving you increased NOx levels

You may need to repost your question. I know less about how this fixya site works than I'd like. No help menu here. But it seems that once anyone gives an answer to a question, that question is removed from the unanswered quick view list. And I can't figure out how other techs can find it & join the discussion. If you repost I'll not give an answer so some one else can try to help you out.
