I assume you mean HydroCarbons? I would fill up with premium and drive if for a while but first I would tune it up - new plugs, filters etc. If this does not work you may need a new catalytic converter. California (head slap) is becoming a nightmare. There is a voucher program that might help you out --- http://www.smogtips.com/consumer_assistance.cfm
