OBD Readiness Check Failing

[jabrax]

Any update?

cat monitor came on but not the 02 yet.... I checked in with the other guy trying these, and he has the same. I have not driven the car since December with the brutal cold. i did try a drive cycle before shutting down.

I am getting impatient with a track day coming the end of March. Yesterday, I swapped the stock cats back in with the custom extenders. Hope to drive it around some today with the warmer weather. Going to check on the status of the other car also

Guys. I’ve been through all this before. Your best bet is to go to a shop. Be upfront. Tell them what you have. If you don’t have cats then it’s gonna be extra tough but if you have cats then just ask them if they can make it pass. Ask that way. Can you make it pass

Just so you all know I went to the same place that I’d given lots of business to from alignments to lowering springs to exhausts on every vehicle I’d owned and one day the manager had quit and suddenly my car wouldn’t pass with just a cat back and 93 tune and CAI. Never had that problem in the id say 10 years before. I had to put it back stock, 100% to pass the test (for then all to show ready) then back to how it was before. Got smart after that and asked around to different shops before I went in. Bottom line if you mod anything it may not pass inspection in the normal way like every other stock car on the road

there has been a major crackdown on shops doing emission test. Some smaller shops are getting out of the business for that reason. States are coming down really hard on them. Tough to get a hookup now or days ... speaking for PA

I don’t know how they do it by you, but here they plug into the odb and read it. The shop itself can’t adjust or pass you. The machine itself reads the computer.
