will a 98 z28 pass inspection in harris county without cats if there are no codes being thrown?

 

yes they only plug in the odbII and scan for codes.

 

depends on the ready status. are you going to delete and go? or have these been deleted (no mil)

 

how can I tell Reno?

 

you can't clear the codes with a scan tool. You need to tune them out via software like hp tuners etc

 

<---- has hptuners and am actually scared to do my inspect for Houston to change plates over!!!

 

well did you just run down and delete the ses light @ you near by parts store or did someone (prior owner,s) actually take the time or money to delete or put in O2 simulators?

 

it will not pass. even with them tuned out. if they are tuned out, it will pass when plugged in but if the inspector looks under the car, ur sol

 

So it wont pass visual but it will pass the computer test if tuned out I can make my own 02 simulators but I was gonna have my egr tuned out I got so many shops that dont check visual. So when you tune them out how does it effect the readyness test? Anybody got a car that has them tuned out that I can scan and check to see for myself

 

are you in Houston? im in Katy and work where the inspects are ill do mine tomorrow and let you know how it comes out!!!

 

Thanks! Yes, Houston

 

I used to be an inspector till I changed jobs and don't do them at my current shop. I Needed to get my T/A inspected so I took it to a buddies shop. On the way there I was watching the readiness and had 2 not readies they were o2 and o2 sensor heater. I changed the o2's to no error reporting with hp tuners and reflashed the ecm. I had 1 not ready and did the state on it and passed. You can have 1 not ready. As long as they don't look under the car for cats you will be ok. If they do then just say they are inside the pipes, lol.

 

So when you tune them out they show up as not ready or not supported?

I really need to get my egr tuned out but I am scared it wont pass the plug in part of the inspection. I don't care about the visual part.

 

Its showed ready on mine.

 

is there a way i can tell if it is tuned properly for this? I am potentially buying a vehicle without cats and the owner doesn't know how it was tuned.

 

mine passed today!!!!, no egr, no second air, no 2nd O2's, and turned off (no error or mil send)
TUNED BY ME

 

I told you guys it would pass.

My Corvette has no EGR, no cats, no secondary pump, and has a 418cubic inch LS3 and it passes no problem. LoL

I've tuned out many EGR's, Cats, pumps etc with no problems on both f-bodies and trucks.

If you don't have a check engine light it should pass.

 

I didnt want to waste my $$$

 

I'm in the same boat, no egr, no cats. I just got a ticket today and I just got it running again last week so with my luck I'd find the one place that does do visual. Can i get a pm or a few of places you guys had luck with? Thanks!

 

if you have hptuners why are you not using it to make the obd2 show ready? that's the great thing about hp tuners you can do that.

I have no cats and I pass hp tuners is the chit!
