My 85 failed the same test, but I knew it was the cat before I even got it
tested. I had just put on a new exhaust and the cat was in need of
replacement... alot of the honeycomb material in it was obviously broken and
missing. It had passed in Massachusetts a few months eariler, so I gambled on
it passing in CT. No dice. CT is baaaaad. They failed me for my turn
signals... they worked, but didn't lock in position... you had to hold there
to keep the signal working. I replaced my cat (and the turn signal switch
temporarily) and it passed.
