Default Failed Emissions...

... because the OBD was "Not Ready".

Guy told me that I should do a 1 - 2 week drive cycle and kept asking me if I've fixed anything. I asked what the difference would be between driving before I came to get my emissions done and driving after I failed and he kept saying, "Yes, yes, 200 miles drive cycle. Then you come back within turtie days and I give you free inspection."

WTF? Do I need to upload my stock tune?

Have you recently unhooked the battery or loaded in a new tune?

Which test was not ready? The inspector should have gave you a print out.

I just got the same thing 3 days ago, my registration is dead now so I can't legally drive it. Sucks... Mine failed the O2 and Evap readiness tests. They told me fill it up about 3/4 tank of gas drive for a few days. Haven't had time. Gotta be another way to do this. Anyone ???
