problem is that we have a "no look" emissions test on OBDII vehicles, basically they never raise the hood, just look at lights, horn, tires, etc. then plug in to the diagnostic port, if it gives no trouble codes your good, if it doesn't match up then you just threw a flag, as soon as that hood goes up alot of people won't pass (i.e. those with long tubes and no cats)....

 

ahh I see. Good luck with it then it sounds more like a game of chess now. Got to figure out a way to win.

 

had no issue here with a car comp installed

 

In Louisiana they do a OBD2 Scan and the VIN comes up. is they see the vins dont match that will throw up a red flag and could be trouble.

On a side note -- Him being an inspection officer could make things alot easier.
















Psst get I may need to talk to ya depended on what happens in December with where I normally get mine done.

 

i know how that works but my truck passed the test with no issues with a car comp. its not something you think is that important. as long as your ride checks out your fine

 

Alot of mention about a 2000 vin...don't they have false KR problems also? Wouldn't an 02 vin or tables be what you're looking for?

As for the lack of low end, first thing you gotta do is get the SES turned off. When the check engine lt's on, I believe that the PCM uses certain fixed tables as a failsafe that will allow the vehicle to run but affect performance. The gutted cats might be hurting your low end also...hopefully some tuning will help that.

 

man i hope so , i will be getting a tuned pcm from wait4me, and i beleive theres is a 02 pcm so i should be in good shape.like i said before i already have som e03 injectors wating to be put in. so when he tunes my pcm he can delet emy rear 02's? because that is the only code it is throwin. would some 02 sims help out? also how much tm should i get taken out? BRADS youll have to get with me when its time for your sticker.

 

I dont think the VIN number has anything to do with the KR. I do believe it was the PCM. You can flash the PCM to have any year model VIN

 

Not a problem. Im all over BR all the time when Im not offshore anyway

 

You need the '01 up PCM I think the last 3 didgits are 411. The SES light wont change anything as far as fueling unless its for something besides the rear O2's. the ONLY think the rear O2s do is throw a code if teh PCM sences tehy arent working properly, nothing more. Im not sure if you (OK not YOU but others) would run into a problem at an inspection station or not, I guess you could just explain that after Katrina (everyone esle wants sympathy why not) your PCM had a small amount of water damage, so you replaced it, and werent aware the year mattered.

Chances are they wont notice the years being different anyway, all they do is fill out the sticker, make sure you have all your ****, and the scan comes up good.
