Failed state inspection... ( info for those with OBDII inspections and Flashers)

Wounder why.....HAHAHAA :lol::lol::lol:

Seriously,, NY changed its way of doing things,, No more dyno, now 96 and up OBD II cars get hooked up to a state on line computer and the running data, CEL codes and stuff is transmitted to the state computers.... No sniffer in the tail pipe....

Well, After re flashing the truck back to stock, she passed with flying colors, SO you don't get an emissions FAIL on your DMV record, Those with flashers remember to flash to stock before you get an inspection of this type...

Todd, That's a good heads-up for those with flashers or nos-stock chips. Wonder when California would go with that system. Seems to be simpler and probably faster.

Todd, are you polluting my nice, clean NY air?

I'm glad you passed the inspection without much hassle. I knew the new machines were out but didn't know the details.

They've been doing the code scan for a couple years now in Wisconsin.

It's an automatic FAIL if the computer doesn't check right or the CEL is lit.

You could always move to Oklahoma... we did away with vehicle inspections over 4 years ago! If it's got wheels and can move, you can tag it and drive it here!

Thanks for the heads up Todd, I go for mine in about a week.

That's the reason I haven't bothered to get my Apten chip reprogrammed for my '04 Trac. I really don't want to mess around with removing it every March for inspection.
