So I have had my Mustang for a year now and it is time for my first go around with emissions. What a fiasco this has been.
The first time I went to try and do emissions it came up as not ready which I wrote off as bad timing as I had just installed the Boss 302 intake a week before and had it retuned. So I tried to complete the drive cycle to get everything to read and went back for it to still read not ready. When I hooked up a friend's diagnostic equipment it showed no data from the O2 sensors. With the cats and O2 sensors being a year old and installed by the dealer I bought the car from I assumed it was a tuning issue. Send off for a new tune, reprogram, and test and now the O2 sensors are giving readings. Try and do the drive cycle again go and test again only for it to still be showing not ready.
Now my tags are expired and I don't know what to do.
