Alright so I took my vehicle in for my emissions test and they told me that my car 'isn't ready to be tested.' the evaporative system registers as 'N', as well as the catalyst.
the form they gave me says... "the on-board diagnostics system is not ready to make a determination regarding the condition of the pollution control systems on the vehicle. This situation must be corrected before the OBD system can be evaluated.
Misfire-R
fuel system-R
component-R
catalyst-N
Evaporative System-N
O2 sensor-R
H02 sensor-R

(R=ready, N=Not ready)


does anyone know how to fix this issue? i've got bbk Xpipe with high flow cats, and have tuned it using the sct x3 powerflash tuner. I'd really like if theres a solution that doesnt involve me putting the stock H pipe back on...

thanks

im not really familiar with how to do that honestly.

also, do you think if i returned the vehicle to stock tune and drove it around a while i'd be alright in terms of getting all the systems up and running?

I'd would return it to stock and drive for a week. Then have it retested. I noticed that I lost a lot on the low end running that x pipe without being tuned for it. Don't be surprised.

yes, returning it to stock and doing the driving cycle in the owners manual should make it GTG for the testing

Most states allow you to fail one component and still pass. Texas does anyways. Find out if they turn off anything in the tune and get it turned back on. Luckily your rear o2 is on or that fails 3 automatically.
