A method is provided for determining wall wetting for an engine which includes running a multi-cylinder engine at a predetermined speed and load. The fuel delivery and spark to one of the cylinders is then interrupted. The hydrocarbon level exhausted from the cylinder is then measured for a predetermined number of engine cycles. The test results can then be curve fitted to the relationship HCPPM=(A+B* engine cycle)(1/exp). In this relationship, HCPPM is the hydrocarbon count in parts per million, A and B are each constants, and the exponent exp is derived using an iterative process. The exponent which is derived is the main qualifier for wall wetting.
