State Inspection Question

[classix_stang289]

I have 3 monitors that say not ready, now we are only allowed 1 in the not ready reading. One monitor is for the cats which i dont have cats and the other two are oxygen sensor monitors


Please tell me there is a way to fix this quick in a tune and switch the O2's to ready status so i can get my car passed inspection!?!?

do you have rear O2s?

more then likely a tune adjustment needs to be done to allow the rear O2s to take more time to heat up IIRC.

pretty sure there are a few threads here about this issue.

yes i have rear O2's, so if they are turned off all i have to do is have them turned on?.....my bad i admit i did not search, sorry about that

They have to be turned on in the tune. Speak to your tuner about an updated tune.

your car has to go throw a drive cycle and can take up to 1000 miles before good. Pretty much you have to turn your rear 02s back on and monitor it while keep shutting off your light every time it comes back on.

i have 45 days to make the correction, i shouldnt have a issue as far as the drive cycle is concerned

1,000,000 miles huh? That's a awful lot.

FYI the driving cycle is in the manual and can be done in 30 ish mins and less than 30 miles.

it can as long as the inspector has poor eye sight....

I have a buddy who is able to help me out with the no cat situation but as far as the other two O2 monitors, they need to go through a drive cycle and say ready. Im hearing back from my tuner on monday

 

[tylerxfire]

visual is usually nothing to worry about..there are many threads about this...try the defouler trick or mil eliminators..otherwise u will have to put the stock mid pipe back on to get inspected...rear o2's need to be turned on and the light needs to stay off and not throw any codes while it drives thru a complete drive cycle..usually 100-150 miles

 

[stkjock]

FYI - the driving cycle is in the manual and can be done in less then 30 miles if done right.

 

[classix_stang289]

I have the Mil Eliminators but im trying to get in touch with my tuner and get an updated tune. I have not heard back from him yet.

 

[classix_stang289]

well it seems i cant find my manual, so what qualifies as a drive cycle? I cant find a link on this, if someone could help me out that would be awesome.

+1 it takes me about 50

 

[classix_stang289]

hopefully someone has a link they can provide for me or verbally tell me how to "correctly" accomplish this.

 

[stkjock]

it's in the manual, I know it as I used it, I dont have a 4.6 manual any longer or I'd find the page.

I did find this
