Well, my '94 945 has failed emissions.
High NOx reading (about 35% over MAX).

I ran a bottle of Techron through w/premium gas and did a minor tune-up (cap, rotor & plugs, it was due).

Upon re-inspection, the NOx readings were somewhat higher than before. Differences between inspections were; the tune-up, premium gas, longer engine/CAT warm-up period & higher ambient temp.

Engine is running fine otherwise, smooth & strong.

I'm figuring it is time for a new CAT. Any dissenters? Am I missing something obvious?
