Can you turn your tune back to stock?
Is it illegal in your state to modify your tune?
If not, tell them that your computer has been tuned. Maybe they need to set up for your tune?

 

Yes sir, I will have already returned the car back to stock. But i will have to wait until at-least tomorrow to go back. I didn't know that tuning ECU is illegal in Phoenix, Arizona.

 

Arizona?

Yes, in Phoenix

 

Yes, in Phoenix

Cool. Found another 3.7 in AZ. ?? by the way I didn't know it was illegal to tune out ECU in AZ.

 

Go drive to the 8/10 split and back and it should be ready.

 

I am sorry that I didn't understand 8/10 split. Can you please explain it to me?

 

When I lived in Flagstaff we didn't need Emissions Testing, I had a friend in Phoenix that used my address since he could not pass the testing and that was 23 years ago.

 

. I think flagstaff still do not require emissions.

 

I had the same "not ready" issue. Now i just return the car to stock a week before my appointment to avoid it happening again.

 

After returning to stick how much do you drive to make everything ready?

 

It took forever to get my plow truck ready after disconnecting the battery......there are drive cycles and sometimes they can be fussy to get everything made...ie cold starts....mutiple times up to temp etc. good luck.

a code reader will tell you when they are made = an excuse to buy a useful tool!

 

I am assuming it is because it is not driven much?

 

what JK posted is a minimum but it took a lot of driving around to get it re-set. They can be funky on what makes it happy. It is an older one 2003 which may have been part of the problem but I had to take it out for maybe 6 longish drives 45 min per? last year so memory of it has faded...

 

I'm likely going to have to do this when I get to Spain as well. I'll have 40 days to get the idle issue fixed and then get a new tune and clear the P1000. My tuner quadruple checked that all emissions functions were on because I kept bugging him about it lol.

Also I'd get a real tune if I were you. Bama is the "fisher price" of the tune world.

 

Not according to our other thread, some people's cars run GREAT

 

The idea behind "canned tunes" is sound. Our cars are mass produced and very nearly identical engine wise. The notion that every engine and tranny is different is overrated IMO.

 

Still no go

I returned car to stock day before and have driven for approx 200 miles. I also bought a scanner tool that can check for readiness of monitors. And I still see the same monitors NOT READY. I am getting worried a little as I am nearing my deadline.

 

The second they made emissions laws, I just blame California.

 

Damn California and it's non loving modded car government. ?

 

Just keep driving.

 

There are 13 states that have adopted the California rules.

Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington.

Well, there are 13 States that I am not interested in driving through.

I went through a bunch of crap when I tried to register a 1972 Gran Torino with a 671 GMC Blower on a 429 that did not pass smog because the air pump was not there :facepalm:
The actual Emissions from the Sniffer was less than half what was allowed for that year and model :banghead:
There really is a good reason I left California in 1994 and don't plan on going back.

 

Now, all vehicles 1975 and older are exempt from emissions testing.
You wouldn't have any problem at all...

 

Yup, my grandson's restored '73 Dodge Demon is a non-issue. Another generation gets to experience muscle cars the way they were from back in the day.

 

Luckily we don't have emission testing here in Quebec.
But I'm sure it's just a matter of time before we do.

They don't emissions test in the county that I live in either. One of the very few in CA that doesn't.
Crossing my fingers that it stays that way!

 

I don’t care. I come here to talk about Mustangs.

 

Looks like it's just you and I, comrade MustangDawg, fighting the good fight...

 

ok folks...this is veering off topic. lets leave the politics out of it.

thx

Jim

 

Hi guys!! Thanks for all the help. In a final attempt I completed the drive cycle and was able to get the O2 and HTR tho READY. Took it to emissions and it was able to pass and Register. [emoji4][emoji106]

 

Nice, next time take the tune off a week or so before :thumb:

 

Sorry for the delay. I usually travel around 50 miles before its in its ready state.
