Did a full tuneup when I got the car. I have the sheet from the emissions somewhere.. its just HCs are through the roof and the rest is just a bit under boarderline. It happens "rarely" as in not everytime I drive the car, but it is atleast once a week and always the code that I was told (by this forum) that heats up and damages the catback.

93 octane, maybe I will set my timing back before going for emissions, I completely forgot about that.. but still, the HC levels are 3 times the allowed limit.

And yes, the idle is a bit rough, its moving around between 700 and 900, cleaned everything and it still does it, Ive just accepted that as part of the problem already. You can REALLY feel it around 2,000-2,500 RPMs if you keep a steady throttle it will start to shake a bit. Luckily highway speeds are closer to 3K. =p

Edit: And when I say feel it around those RPMs.. not when the cars sitting still, only while actually driving.
