The amount of CO in the exhaust stream is directly pro-
portional to the amount of O2 contributing to the com-
bustion process. Richer air-fuel mixtures, with lower
oxygen content, produce higher CO levels; leaner air-
fuel mixtures, with higher oxygen content, produce
lower CO levels. High CO emissions may result from
one or more of the following abnormal conditions:
• Clogged or dirty intake air passages
• Plugged air filter element
• Throttle body coking
