[fasteddie123]

Is there any shop that doesnt really pay attention with emissions testing? I have longtubes and no cats on my car and its pretty obvious with the smell and sound so what testing shop do you guys who dont have cats go to?

Is your CEL on? If not then just go to the closest one. I've never had problems.

 

[fasteddie123]

CEL? im not familiar with that abbriviation

check engine light

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Where you from? I'd stick to a suburb test area to be safe though.

 

[fasteddie123]

Im from the north west suburbs I have an emissions tune from tillman speed and i get check engine lights but i clear them with my SCT tuner

 

[fasteddie123]

they dont happen that frequently

 

[Mook]

just make sure they arent on when u get tested

 

[fasteddie123]

[Mook]

I had mine done at crystal lake back when my car was obnoxiously loud. Didn't say a word.

And be careful with just clearing the codes. As you will have to go through several drive cycles in order to ensure that the all the monitors are ready to test. You just have to hope that the cat monitor is the only one left not ready.

Otherwise you will need to get in there with a tuner or find some 02 sims.

A vehicle can have up to twelve monitors built into the OBD computer system. The most common monitors are:


Continuous

Misfire
Fuel System
Comprehensive Components



Non-Continuous

Oxygen Sensor
Heat Oxygen Sensor
Catalyst Efficiency
Evaporative Emissions System
EGR System
Secondary Air System
PCV System

Remember, vehicles are rejected when more than two non-continuous readiness monitors are “not ready” for 1996 to 2000 model year vehicles, or when more than one non-continuous readiness monitor is “not ready” for 2001 and newer model year vehicles. Additionally, the catalyst monitor must be “ready” at the time of any re-test after a vehicle failed an initial test for any catalyst code.

Yup, need to be in ready mode is key! That causes a lot of people who reset codes to fail because they don't realize how the system checks.

 

[fasteddie123]

i usually just throw codes for my front two cats and it is incredibly rare. How many drive cycles do i need to go through to make sure the monitors are ready to test?

LMAO for shits and giggles I want to see someone pull up with open headers no codes and see what they say

That would easily be the greatest thing ever

I'm due for emissions, anyone wanna crawl under my car and disconnect the cat back for the day( must also be willing to re-connect it a little later) I'll pass with open headers, I just don't think the Lulz are worth the rolling around in the snow

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I can't wait for emissions testing. My car is crazy ass loud even at idle. I have zero restrictions in my 3" exhaust. The muffler at the end I can see right through.

[tmbutitta]

[Bob Kazamakis]

[Hollywood 06 GTO]
