Emissions failure 1986 nissan 300zx

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 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.

SOURCE: Emissions failing with high NOx

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

1986 NISSAN 300ZX FAILED EMISSIONS HIGH CO

I would replace CATalitic converter, this car is old, plus a tuneup is 100% necessary , spark plugs wires, ditributor cap & rotor, plus both the air & fuel filters need replaced. change oil & filter. then you will pass emissions test. and your car will run like its suppose too. if you don't do all this , then buy a new car !

1986 300zx failing low speed NOx emissions test in Texas. Changed cat converter and egr contol valve. What should I look at next? All other checks are OK

these cars are known to have injector failures and that would make you fail a emmission test easily. also i would reccomend looking at your oxygen sensor.

86 gmc saburban failed emissions

there isn't much a person can do at home when it comes to repairing a emissions failue there are HC failures where there is unburned fuel
There is CO which is incomplete combustion poosr compression, valve problems ect.
NOX Oxsides of nitrogen which is usually over heating engine or EGR
O2 (oxygen) leak in the exhaust
Oh yea evap emissions where the fuel vapors escape into the atmosphere through a .020" hole in the fuel vapor recovery system somwhere between the fuel ank and the engine compartment Oh god you need a smoke machine to find those.
Oh god I repair emission and its so damn hard fix one thing and another reading goes wackey
There is NO WAY without a 5 gas analyzer you can hit it Please trust me I know money is tight but take it to an emissions qualified shop and be done with it cheaper and less hassle, sorry just being honest really.Here in Seattle you will find nearly no old vehicles like yours due to emissions they cant be made to pass so off to the wrecking yard they go thats the goal of the emissions program get rid of the GROSS POLLUTERS and make people buy new cars. Thats our wonderful Goverment.
But in Japan you have to my law change our engine at 40,000 mi due to their emissions laws or junk the car.
give me your phone Number and I'll call you or heres my number 253-691-6206 and try to explain it
But if I provided any helpful advice please give me a good rating
