You failed because you had too little carbon monoxide?

So apparantly you can have too little CO which i was unaware of. Any way, a low CO emissions means your engine is running lean (too much air, not enough fuel). A high CO emission means your engine is running rich (too much fuel, not enough air). Low CO can be caused by incorrect timing, fuel system problem, or if one of your emission control systems is malfunctioning.

My friend once told me that if you put pure alcohol (100%) in your gas tank you will pass. Whether or not this is actually true i do not know.
