check engine light inop, bulb good, unable to pull codes on box by the battery

What is your question?

failed smog test; failed obd system checks-because light doesn't come with key, hc=282/max allowed=56 @25mph, co=1.62/max allowed=.39@25mph. already replaced the oxygen sensor and catalytic converter prior to the test. cars hard to start cold, once started runs a little rough for the first minute or so. starts fast and easy once warmed up. idles so smooth you hardly know its on once warmed up. sometimes at idle the rpm climbs over 1000, I can tap the accelerator pedal and it drops back to about 700. lacks power, builds up slowly and top speed is only about 100 mph (2.6L eng) air filter clean, spark plugs new, spark plug wires new, dist. cap and rotor new and clean, used fuel system cleaner. any help is appreciated thank-you.
