Well I went back to go though emissions, I passed this time. I raised my idle back up and leaned it out a little bit. made it with a reading of 1091 final on hydrocarbons when the standard is 1800. TY for all the suggestions, raising the idle did help out. Since I did lower it way down. And ty Scuba, I won't lower my idle that low any more.

It ran good. I lowered the idle back down a little bit. Not as far as I had it before.
