I have a 97 F350 5.8ltr and fail the emissions horribly, according to the tech doing the test. I asked what would make my results so high. I don't remember the readings but they were the highest he had seen in years. Great. He wanted to hook up some computer terminal that would have told me right away what the problem was but the 97 F350 did not have this option. Any suggestions as to where to start?
Thanks

First is your CE light on. Does the bulb check work? If its that bad you should have a light on. O2 sensors are prob bad.. Get a scanner to check don't guess its too expensive..

Do you have a catalytic converter and does it still have it's innards? 
Sounds like they did a sniffer test, and you failed based on the limits.
Gotta post the limits, what you tested at, and maybe we can come up with something.

But even with a cat that's not doing anything, it shouldn't be much more than 250-300 HC's
Gotta get a printout, give us numbers, and again, start your own thread
