PCV value? Is it a CRX? I had this happen to my CRX years ago when it failed a smog test. Do not know if it had to do with high hydrocarbon emissions though.

I am very surprised as it runs beautifully, very smoothly, but there it is... this needs to be dealt with of course, since I am apparently polluting, not to mention that I need to pass in order to register the car.... So I am hoping that someone here can steer me in the right direction -- perhaps I just need to replace the air filter or something. My CO emission are almost negligeable - .01 vs a limit of 1.20 but my hydrocarbon emissions are quite high - 343 vs a limit of 200. At high rpms only. At idle I pass at 124 vs 200. Does that tell anyone anything? Some random, possibly related data... this is an elderly Honda I have just put on the road again, and it's been sitting a couple of years. Also, when I took the test I had just started the car, though this was immediately after driving it about 15 miles, so it should have been warm. I am thinking hydrocarbons = fuel mixture? If need be I'll take it to a mechanic, but it's sooooo a shadetree mecanic car, I hate to do it...if nobody knows, it's not worth anyone googling; I can do that myself. Just wondering if anyone knows off the top of their head.
