Rule of thumb from now on...
 
don't expect to pass emissions after you reset your codes 10 miles &1/2 hour before you get inspected cuz YOU WONT PASS :lol: after going the last 200ish miles with no codes I was on my way to inspection today to get well um inspected and i popped a code for my 160 thermo in the GTP like alot of these v6 guys get so i reset it while i was at work and went to inspection later in the day & they failed me because the computer didnt go through all its readiness tests :( so now ive got to go to an emissions repair center that they give you a list of blah...i knew i shouldve just bought hptuners for it...probably wouldve been less expensive.

emmisions tests?

they really make you guys do that down there?

damn, I haven't owned much in my life that would pass emissions testing I don't think.........

Dropping a 350 in my YJ this weekend, dual exhaust, no cats, no worries.......

i think they only let you tune that specific model, not just any car.

its not really emissions so much for 96+ cars more like plug and play BUT like i said i deleted all my codes shortly before going there so the computer hadnt run all its tests and gotten completely operational by the time i got to dmv and through inspection so i failed for the readyness tests...not really a sniffer but still considered part of emissions.

if it's tuned properly, you can get it to pass. my '69 passed.

I hate this state's inspection. Consider yourself lucky that they do the plug and play. For me it's a half hour of car abuse. They keep getting me so I'm stuck working this quarter instead of finishing school! **** NJ. I'm going to get a "residence" somewhere else just so I can register the car out of state with NO EMISSIONS TESTS. My car is clean with the cat but hey, you don't have a damn inspection cover over the torque converter.... I'm only glad they haven't asked me to pull the hood pins and lift the hood ;) . Then they'de fail me for sure.
One wonders if it's possible to install 2 ecms and hack it so that it says the BS tests were completed and that the car has never been turned off ;) . The other computer could control the car :D . If I had a OBDII car you could be I'd be further along with that idea.

its not a tuning issue...its a computer issue basically the computer needs to go through several self tests of all its systems to tell the guys at dmv that everythign is cool...i happened to not have much time to get this inspection done so kinda halfassed it hoping it would pass.
