[QUOTE="XP900, post: 16560594, member: 199546"] I spend hours trying to get the tests to pass with the tune from my tuner...no go.... I put the original VMP tune back on that came with the Gen2r budget kit that they had customized for my car with no data logging. Not a good running tune but it was their first pass just to get it running and I never bothered to datalog for them for a better tune. Car runs just sucky power wise at low rpm and bad idling. I used my scanners and used the Autotap handout and drive around for two + hours following some of the individual testing requirements. I was able to get all tests to complete except for the EVAP but I think they would have completed too after more run time and startups (the EVAP test had completed with the tuners tune so it probably would have eventually completed with the VMP tune. I was driving around at temps at 40-42 F so that is barely marginal for some of the tests to run. I know in NY you are allowed one test to be incomplete and still pass the emissions so I took it to Jiffy lube and prayed - late Sunday as they were closing. They inspected the engine, pulled front tire (I watched and they were really careful with the rim) and ran OBD tests. They saw the VMP SC but it did not make a difference. All that NY state and these test places care about are basically brakes and passing emissions test via the OBD. They do not do tailpipe testing...but I was told that is an option if OBD is an issue??? NY state is computerized in inspection and testing....VIN has to be read on windows registration to start testing and OBD reading must match up before computer will pass or fail the car. I don't think there is any way to manipulate or trick the systems nowadays to get a bad car to pass in NY. CA may be even more stringent. I don't think aftermarket parts really matter in NY....it is all based on whether or not you can pass those OBD tests and basic road worthy tests. Of course you can still get tickets from troopers for loud mufflers. Inspection guy didn't even tell me about the one inc that I knew about...they may not even know it if the state computer passes it. I did see them actually use a torque wrench to adjust my wheel and told me to re-torque in 3 days to 100 ft-lbs. That is a first and they even got the ft lbs right!!! I always recheck my wheels. Put the tuners tune back on for now and back to normal. At least I know how to pass my tests with these parts installed. [/QUOTE]
