Has anyone passed MVA Emissions with Lidio's 93 octane tune? The previous owner of my car said he had some issues in Missouri.

You shouldn't have any problems passing because of the tune.
What mods do you have on the car???

As long as your Check Engine Light isn't on and put some drive time on within 2 weeks of you going to the emissions to set the computer all should be well.

I have Lidio's 93 tune, and a couple of others, and my car registered near zero on Maryland's revenue grabbing "emissions" test. I will be taking my car back in for another round Wednesday with my newly blown out cats. I will report back with the results.

At least they got rid of the roller so I won't have 5 guys insisting that my car needs to be run on that thing with me watching from the fishbowl. I loved their response when I told them all they had to do is plug me in... Something to the effect of, "you have headers and it affects the test, that's why we have to get in and run it on the rollers"

F'n jobs program if you ask me.

Sounds like I should be all set. Thanks for the info. I'll let you guys know if I have any issues. I can't believe that they had your car on the dyno. They should have known it had an ODB!!

I recently bought the Marauder and it came with:

- Lidio's 93 Octane Tune
- K&N Intake
- Addco Sways
- Ford Racing 4.10 Gear
- Ford Racing Differential Support
- Eibach Springs
- J-Mod Valve Body

Not a huge fan of the Eibach's with the stock Tokico shocks. A bit oversprung. I may end up swaping them out with KYB's this spring.

Glad this was brought up. I faild my emissions test becuase their computers didn't get a read out. They even turned the car off and back on again, eveything light up fine...no check engine light came on but still no read out on their computer. Any possible reasons why or what to look for?!?!!?

You're running a Lidio tune? That sounds like the issue that I've heard of before. Something about the sensors not being "ready".

Hmmm. Maybe I misunderstood him?? We went over a ton of stuff before I drove off with the car, but I'm pretty sure he warned me about reflashing to stock before testing for emissions (based on his experience). I'll give it a try next weekend and post an update.

Just went through the Maryland revenue generating emissions test and received a "Pass" That's all it said other than the particulars about the car. So, with all of the work I have had done to the car, and it passed, I see absolutely no reason to think you will have any problems.

I drove all the way to Owings Mills to find out the emissions test station was closed for MLK weekend. I'll see how it goes next weekend and post an update.

My MM has an Injected tune and 2 hi-flow cats in place of the 4 stockers..... passes the N.C. tests everytime.

Strange to say, but the ceramic coated headers tend to be overlooked by some emissions testers are stock. Why, they blend in with everything and do not stick out being all rusted. Another reason to go with ceramic coated headers.
