    Hi,
    Yaris 1.0i failed for emissions please see report attached. the car is not smokey although i have noticed that the oil level has dropped since the oil change in july.My Question is does this report point to the 'cat' only?

    Please see attached for HC/CO inspection extracted from the Toyota Technical Document so that you could have some information for your problem. I hope you will solve it soon.

    Your HC are very high which means there is alot of unburnt fuel(or oil) going down the exhaust, combustion is poor. This is upping your CO level but if its been happening for a while now your cat may also be dead

    CO and HC look OK at idle, surely if it was a problem with unburnt fuel or oil burning it would happen at all revs? It sounds like the cat may be going in this car.

    Oil burning would not cause a car to fail an NCT unless it's using so much you can see blue smoke coming out of the exhaust. Many modern cars burn oil and it's within the spec of most engines to use as much as a litre every 1000 km.

    The cat does not reduce HC, it may be the case it's gone now but a dead cat is not to route cause

    High Co + High HC = running too rich, far too much fuel trying to burn in not enough oxygen = incomplete burn so loads of HC (hydrocarbons) and CO (Carbon monoxide)

    Its either not getting enough oxygen (air filter blocked), not a good enough spark, or ECU is over fuelling because of a faulty sensor.

    The 2 most important sensors for fuel control are the Lambda sensors (which monitors the remaining oxygen in the exhaust) and the MAF/MAP (measures the quantity of air going into the engine).
