I have a Hyundai Accent 1.5 GSI R plate 1997 and it's just failed the mot on the basis of the following :

2) Exhaust emmissions carbon monoxide content 2nd fast Idle excessive.

3) Exhaust emissions hydrocarbon content after 2nd fast idle excessive.

4) Exhaust emmissions Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits.

I would be grateful if someone could help me to sort these problems. Any suggestions......

Could be a catalytic converter or an air injection system problem.
