    Probably to many monitors turned off. PM Marty at Mo's, he can probably help you out. You will need your PCM code which is located on the drivers side door opening near the hinges. It's a four digit code. White sticker.

    I don't have anything turned off in my tune and it passed from '05 to "13 or '14 here in NY. The problem wasn't a failure for any codes found in the computer. The problem in NY is the NY software won't even recognize that the computer exists w/aftermarket tune installed! The tech spent 30 minutes trying to figure out which fuse was blown. I told him the car wouldn't be running if that was the case (I only let this guy do the inspections!). Returned to stock and reset all the sensors/drive cycle and problem fixed - same tech and equipment could now see the computer in my car! Had to do it every year since.

    I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on. I don't do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.

    I passed emissions here with the Lido tune that came with the car, only monitors are F and CC all others are off. The tune is a bit on the fat side, in the near future I'll be reaching out to Marty to get a tuner and one of his tunes. I'll likely ask to keep all the monitors off except F and CC.

    Took mine in to be inspected this morning. FLUNKED! I only put 40 miles on it using the stock tune. I'll take a nice ride this weekend and the computer should be ready for another try on Monday. Good thing they give you 2 tries $55.00.

    Also something I didn't think about. It would have failed without my front plate anyway. Need to get that on this weekend also. Fn' RI!

    Make sure it sits for 8hrs OFF after your Sunday cruise. Can't remember exactly what needs all that time but it's computer related. Overnight should be sufficient.

    After using "The Car Chip" I can detect when my car is ready for inspection in the environmentalist State of Massachusetts. You can Google the product.

    This is what I'm afraid of. They start turning away any car with modified PCMs. How are supercharged guys doing emisisons in NY?

    I will never understand anyone with a modded car who doesn't possess the most basic scanner that shows if you will pass or not pass an emission test.

    They even make ones so simplistic with a green or red light for people who don't understand the tough language of monitors! Like N/A, INC/not ready, and ready..

    You're right, Bob. Talked to FORDFRK (Jack) at Carlisle about the one he recently picked up and will be picking up same shortly....no more ridiculous guessing games.

    Wait a second....am I understanding correctly? If you unhook the battery, you need to reload the tune?

    No.

    It just starts the learning cycle over for the tune that is loaded.

    The more I look into it, the more I think I will have to swap injectors, plugs, and stock tune while removing the blower belt to pass emissions...

    I wish I had the money for a supercharger, but I'm just happy I don't have to worry about stupid inspections in my area.

    Nice to live in a small town in a (somewhat) free state. No vehicle inspections, I carry a gun every day, the school still says the Pledge of Allegiance every morning, don't have to lock up the house to run to the store, no riots when the cops shoot a criminal...
    2003 Marauder... the gentleman's hot rod.

    You know what I like best about most people? Their dogs.
