Contents Notes
Fourteen late model vehicles were tested under a variety of conditions in order to determine the effect on carbon monoxide (CO) emissions and fuel economy of three factors: (1) Extended idling times when vehicles are first started in the morning; (2) Changes in ambient temperature from 0 deg F to 70 deg F; and (3) Tune-ups for vehicles which fail a warm idle emissions test, such as would be administered during an inspection and maintenance program. The first two factors are believed to play a role in the CO air quality problems experienced in Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska. The third factor is one potential approach for addressing the CO problem. v. 1. Final report -- v. 2. Appendix.
