Inspection question
Inspection question My car is cammed, egr removed. I have it setup in the computer to turn off the lights so no check engine lights. As far as I can tell when I check for codes there are none and the scan shows ready. With cats to pass visual should they pass me ?
Do you live in an emissions county? If not, a visual is all that you have to pass.

If it is set up right, you'll pass no problem. The way I would find out, take it to an inspection station and tell them that you tried to inspect it but was told that monitors were not ready. They should check it at no charge. If they say that all the monitors are ready(or only 1 not ready), you should be good to go.

Verdad Gallardo This. Emissions counties can really suck to live in sometimes. It used to be rather easy to slip a tech some financial incentives to put some of your missing equipment in their blind spot, but with the tightening of laws concerning punishment of techs who do that sort of thing many have started to walk the straight and narrow path.
Most places just plug in the OBDII and check for the safety visuals (wipers, horn, tires, tint, lights, etc.). They usually don't check to see if the emissions equipment is there.

For vehicles year model 2001 and newer, we allow one (1) non-continuous monitor to be Not Ready and still pass the test, but two (2) or more Not Ready's will cause the vehicle to fail.
For vehicles year model 1996 – 2000, we allow two (2) non-continuous monitors to be Not Ready and still pass the test, but three (3) or more Not Ready's will cause the vehicle to fail.
Thank you. I guess having it tuned again is the only fix.
I might try this route next:

This one, I think will be easy to qualify for.

There is a low mileage exemption for motorists who drive less than 5,000 miles/year. To qualify for this exemption you must:
1.Fail both the initial test and free retest
2.Incur $100 of emissions related repairs
3.Drive less than 5,000 miles/year
If you meet these qualifications then you would qualify for the low mileage waiver. Contact the DPS challenge station in your area for more information on the forms to complete.

They are not turned off correctly.

If its tuned and you have removed any emissions equipment and it still shows 'not ready', take it back to whomever tuned it lol. Are you sure it doesn't say N/A?
I just got off the phone with DMV.
The $100 in repairs can be done by you, just need the receipt from the parts. And it has to be within 30 days of the waiver, and can be before or after the failures.
They have an "expert" on modified cars (probably shouldn't have mentioned that but wanted to be honest/up front) that is off today. I am to call him tomorrow.
