[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 15407050, member: 137255"] So, after yesterday's failed attempt at passing inspection due to the misfire code popping back up and sensors not ready, I swapped the plugs (kept the originals since I don't think it was a spark issue). I also dumped quite a bit of Seafoam into the tank. I assumed the misfire was caused by injector issues from the old gas, but I didn't want to keep repeating the "drive-cycle," so I changed the plugs too just to cover my bases. This morning, I cleared the misfire code one more time with the handheld that Catmonkey sent me (Thanks again John!). I then hit the road with "drive-cycle" instructions in hand. It involves a bunch of specific requirements... Idle for 15 seconds, accelerate to 45 mph using 1/2 throttle 4 times, accelerate to 65 then close the throttle and decelerate to 45 without using brakes - repeat 3 more times, cruise at 45 mph for 10 minutes, etc, etc, etc! Normal driving around town eventually resets all of the monitors, but I was interested in getting them ready for inspection with the least amount of miles screwing around. After a monotonous drive, I hit the inspection station to check the status of the sensors. All but one were back-up and running. The inspector said it will pass with 1 "not ready,' so it was time... I did the lights/horn/accel/stop test for him and then backed it into the test slot. I felt like a nervous parent waiting on a report for my misbehaving kid, but I got the good news... IT PASSED! Two days and 45 miles later, I can now register the car and pay more money (taxes). On the way home, I did a little burst in 2nd/3rd. I didn't want to get too crazy since I was driving around town with a Montana vanity plate sans registration stickers. From this morning: Pulled in and inspector used his hand-held scanner to confirm the car was ready to be tested: [ATTACH=full]694256[/ATTACH] After the lights/horn/accel/stop test, I backed it in to be analyzed: [ATTACH=full]694257[/ATTACH] I think I peed a little when the "passed" paper printed out!
