Default Emissions: CO too high

The limited is 1.20%, my Jeep was at 6.60%.

HC passed with 126PPM and a limit of 220PPM.
CO2 passed as well with 10.33% with no limit.


What can I do to get that CO drastically lower?
I was going to pull the O2 sensor out and clean it up, and the same with the IAC.
Now, part of the problem i think is that it idles high. In drive it idles at 1,200rpm, 1,100rpm with A/C on, and 1,400rpm in park. Is this 100% dead IAC sensor or could it also be something else?

I am still in the 50 cycle after resetting the computer so that could be part of it as well, cause I put in 703 injectors not too long ago.

Is there anything else that could be an issue that I need to look into?

sh/t I hope not.
I've heard those "guaranteed to pass" fuel additives work.

i belive your idle is to high.
check for broken vacimlines. if all is ok, then proberly the iac is bad. try clean it and throttlebody before replacing.

also before anything, check to see if your throtlle returns to stop.

good luck and let us know.
