Failed Smog Test
 

1992 GMC Suburban 2500 has high CO because of loose spark plug.

Can a loose sparkplug and two connection to the distibutor they were in the wrong places) Could it cause high percent of CO?

Answer:  

Yes, absolutely. A loose spark plug wire will cause not only high CO, but high HC as well. You want to get that fixed and have your Suburban re-tested after. The emissions numbers will change. If your GMC still fails the smog check, you can then go in to a detailed diagnosis.
