Does anyone here know, if i delete codes that are stored in my ecu that are causing me to fail inspection will i pass, or will DMV be able to tell whats been done?

if it's anything like Illinois's OBDII testing... set the codes so they don't set an error (but leave enabled) ....

I did this 2 weeks ago, had 1 incomplete readiness test on my 2000 car and passed (in IL you can have 2 incompletes for 2000 and earlier, 1 incomplete for newer cars)

took about 30 miles , 2 cold starts and 5 or 6 warm starts to get the rest of the readiness tests to complete

As long as you have no codes and all the required readiness tests complete, youre golden. Passed it at the end of last year.

hey i failed the rear o2 readiness test when i tried it
will i need some o2 sims to get it to read right?

rear o2 readiness codes? I know theres a catalyst readiness code, but i think once you delete the rear o2's, the catalist readyness is set to complete. Theres also an o2 sensor heater cirsuit readiness test, but its not rear specific.

ya your spot on man
i failed both of those tests
i was tring to think of the names
i failed one more also but cant rememeber what but if i get those 2 fixed then im straight because in ny i think your aloud to fail 1 or 2 tests

will o2 sims solve this?
thanks

If you have a 2001+, then youre only allowed to fail one. Usually, if you had all the codes deleted for that particular system, they shoudl automatically set to complete. I have a suspicion that your tuner may have left a couple codes in there that are keeping the readiness bit from autocompleteing.
