Vehicle Emissions Test

[michael ward]

My Marauder has been in storage for six months I have been sick in hospital so I could not take marauder in for test until today. My plate sticker expires April 30th. Took marauder for test today and it failed. Then I took it to ford they said just drive it on expressway blow it out get it hot so I drove it sixty miles 80 mph plus went back to retest failed again. How much driving do I have to do to get some data on computer?? Thank You

What tune is in the computer?

It also can take more than one day to reset all the I/M monitors, especially the evap and the catalyst.

Zack last owner installed its sct but had no problem last emissions test

[Mr. Man]

Since you attempted to pass did the inspection people give you proof that you at least tried to pass? Our state gives 30 or 45 days (can't remember which) to remedy the problem so if pulled over in that time frame you just show the officer the paperwork.
Your state may have upgraded its software program for the OBDll test. You will need to most likely put the OEM tune back in to pass.

Did it fail or come up as not supported/rejected?

Did it fail or come up as not supported/rejected?

Or not ready?

About two weeks ago I tried taking it in with a Z tune and came back not ready/unsupported due to the 02s being disabled. The guy said it did not fail was just rejected by the system. Told me he only sees that when the car has been modified.

Weird thing is, I'm pretty sure I've taken it in and passed before without re-flashing to stock before hand...

[michael ward]

The first time I tested passed with flying colors a year and a half ago. Reject/Not Supported Cat&02 not supported

[Zack]

Testing has changed. Load the stock tune back in, drive for a week then go back.

[Mr. Man]

If your state allows you may be able to pass with a tailpipe test. The tester will have to put in some effort to check into whether your car qualifies. If it does it should pass with flying colors.


Easyist way though is to put the OEM tune back in. Pass, then put your SCT tune back in.

I passed last year with tune no problem.. this suks

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Plug in your tuner to your OBD 2 port. Return to stock. Drive the hell out of it for a couple days before re-testing. Do at least 7 ignition cycles. Drive it overnight or something so you can take it in tomorrow and buy the sticker same day without any fees/penalties.

The tuner if it has a screen will have the option to return to stock if it has it stored.

[michael ward]

OK Thank You..

Unplug something. Make it fail. Plug it back in. GO
o to a shop. Have them make paperwork saying you spend $450 or greater fixing this. Unplug something else. Fail a second time. Bring in your $450 proof of work. Get your waver.

Done.

Isn't the waiver only good for one year?

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

He would have to pay extra for the stupid sticker for buying it after expiration which is what he wanted to avoid this week before it failed.

[EMAS]

After you instal a tune with all monitors turned on Google Ford OBD II drive cycle that will tell you the correct way to drive it so that you can make it run all the monitors in a single rather quick drive cycle.

No matter how much you spend if there are any monitors that come back as not supported that was supported in the factory tune you will never pass no matter how much you spend on repairs.

These days yes.

For every new mouse trap, there is new mouse.

So instead of fixing the car correctly you have to go thru all that B.S. again?

[michael ward]

Thank You All For You're Help!! I passed today with stock tune with 200 miles on it..

Nothing is broken. It has headers and missing two cats. The EPA does not like that.

Registration will have to be changed.
