Ny just passed a bill to have emissions testing on all 96 and up vehicles. This test is done through a computer connected directly to the state, and the dmv. Now, this is not a sniffer test. this plugs right into the OBD2 port and scans your vehicles computer. It is looking to see if you have any engine codes, and that your monitors are in ready mode. if you have no engine codes and all your monitors show ready, you pass.
Here is my question, is there any way i am going to keep my engine from throwing codes, and make sure all monitors are ready on a TReX cam? I know you can just delete codes with hp tuners, but once you delete the code wont the monitor show not ready? any input would be great.

 

If I'm not mistaken, this is the same type of test that is being performed here in Houston. I have had the EGR removed from the computer and have had no problems. I think you should be ok with a proper tune and eliminating the "bad" codes.

By the way, I'm from Buffalo, NY but moved to Houston 4 years ago. No more snow!!!!!

brian your a smarter man than me, i hate the snow. i am also from buffalo. right now while my car is sitting in the garage, you probably still have to t-tops off. thanks for the input man!

 

Well, it actually got cold (for Houston) last night. Mid-thirties! No t-tops off today! What part of Buffalo? I grew up in Kenmore.

I live in kenmore...sucks to be me huh?

 

Better than the East side, Black Rock, or Niagara Falls!!!

 

We already have that test in MD. Mine passed with no problems.

Same test here in PA...mine passed no problem..
242/250 .595/.595 109

 

Was wondering the same thing.. We can clear some of our codes on C5s.. Lets hope its enough to get through...

 

good im gald to see some people are passing with some huge cams! to answer your question im from tonawanda, not to far from kenmore.

 

yo yo yo checkin in kenmore style. i dont mind it here at all snow is fun there is till plenty of time for the car in the summer. ssmokinss are you the guy with the silver vert ss i always see if so start modding it now

 

HP tuners/LS1 edit OBDII testing....... no problem.

 

2 answers --LS1 Edit and "Don't Vote for Billary Again!"

 

Oh man, this is music to my ears. I live in NY and I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to get around emissions and I wasn't sure how hard it would be to get by this new testing. I don't have ls1 edit or anything and my check engine light isn't on. is there any way i could find out if i getting any trouble codes?

 

Anyone know if/when CA will switch over to this type of testing?

It would be nice to pass smog with one of the nastier cams

 

You can monitor readyness status with HPtuners, what ever code you delete or emissions device you turn off, make sure the readyness status still passes. If you turn the egr valve off I think it'll show up as unready. I would zero out the tables so its "ready" but will never open.

 

could you shut off trouble codes and get everything ready with autotap?

 

No, but i work with him. I have a black ss vert. modding will begin when she comes out of hiding in the spring. Where about are you in kenmore??

 

anybody want to guess what o2 sims are gonna show up as?
