What would cause high HC on a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero?

Need to know what would cause a 1998 Mitsubishi Montero to fail a smog test for the HC (ppm) component on a smog test. My Mitsubishi produced 80 ppm of HC during the 15 mph and 48 ppm at 25mph. Thank you for your time!


Answer:  

A smog check repair station will first have to find out if your Mitsubishi Montero's fuel feedback system is working properly.

Fuel feedback sensors such as the MAP, MAF, ECT and O2 sensors need to be diagnosed in order to ensure your Montero's emissions computer is receiving the signals from these components, the computer is computing the data properly and sending the correct signals to the fuel injectors to either increase or decrease fuel delivery to the combustion chambers.
