Our 190E 2.3 just passed CA emissions with the results in the pic.

My concern is the HC emissions at 15 mph, which is 78% of max allowable, despite all other readings being well within the normal range. Would this indicate a marginal injector spray pattern, oil past the seals at high vacuum, normal for this setup, ...?

My concern is to catch an impending failure-to-pass two years down the line. Thanks.
