That allows the closed-loop control to sort everything out by the time the machine takes its reading. If you just close the throttle and hit the test button the mixture can still be a bit rich and cause this sort of problem, on older cats.

Well MOT day again. I explained the above guidance and the MOT tester understood what needed to be done.
He had to adjust the main beam.
Passed with zero advisories.
