you need to go back to your tuner and have him check and make sure the Monitors are all set to READY, he has missed something

You're allowed no more than 2 monitors showing "Not Ready". Most OBD systems will complete their tests within 10-15 miles of regular driving. If you still have monitors that aren't working you may have an actual problem. You need to find out which monitors aren't running and compare them to what you have still onthe car. Any competent shop can do this, or if you're in the Laurel or Westminster area I can do it for free.

What's been deleted? And didn't Jeff tune it? He knows how to get a car to pass

yes Jeff did it many years ago. no cats, no a.i.r, no codes coming up. the only thing i have been doing different is turning the key to the on position and letting it set for about 30 seconds to heat up the o2 sensors since mine older a.c delco ones went up only after a year. i have switched to denso's and been working for 2 years now. I have been doing that ever since and since the battery was replaced. when noticing the drive cycle it specifically said full cold start and start the car right up so i have done that 3 times now. I have a few weeks left.

I still live in Glen Burnie area, but am willing to take my car anywhere if someone could read my computer monitors for free. I dont think places like advance auto do that, they just have code readers.

now I need to get this fixed because I don't think they will even hook my car up with the ses light on. I have till the 22nd.

well I bought a new o2 sensor and will install it soon then delete the code and try to get tested. I dont want to unhook the battery to reset the computer since that will set me back even further.
