Default obd2 emissions

is it possible to use something like tunercat to remove pids so that your car will pass emissions. I believe previous owner disconnected o2 and cat sensors because its a gutted cat. I went to do an inspection and I got a rejected, not fail. Said those sensors were not ready. would that work? or is there something else I could try?

Your going to need to have somebody look at the computer and see what is enabled and disabled. Maybe try an post cat o2 sim. You need to find out your states allowable limit on not ready items allowed for OBD2 emissions.

ok so i looked at my o2 sensors and all 4 are reading voltage. the only thing is that if i goto see in emissions if the sensor is ready it says not ready... There is a pid that just says fuel 1 and there is another one that says fuel 2. and it says status open on both. Does that mean like open and closed loop? or does that mean the fuel pump is on
