Ok, here's the deal. Georgia has begun OBD emissions testing on all '96 and later vehicles. My issue is that I live in one of the 13 metro-Atlanta counties requiring emissions testing, and I have no EGR or AIR pump. I realize that this can be programmed out of OBDII, but when the GA emissions ****'s read my ECU, it will show a EGR and AIR "not ready" rather than show that I have a functioning EGR and AIR system. This will automatically fail me. Does anyone out there know of a method to make some sort of EGR and AIR sims, so the computer sees the input it needs to see, and I'll be off scott free? Otherwise, I'm screwed. I can't go back with an EGR valve b/c of my headers. I'll be forced to park the car indefinately. Any input would be wonderful. Thanks in advance.

What I am looking for is something like a plug in sim, like an o2 sim. If a ready-made unit is not available, hopefully some instructions on making one.

 

My 97 PCM is a firm believer they still exist

 

But has is simply been gotten rid of with programming, or have you made some sort of device that really "tricks" the computer into thinking that they are there. If I could pass emissions by just having them programmed out, then I would have no problems. Like I said, with programming, it will read a "not ready" which will automatically fail me.

 

Ok heres the deal you have a 96 and OBD2 therefore what they do with a tune if the tuner knows what hes doing is sets these codes to X which will not give a not ready reading it simply will just make the emissions tester see that it is indeed working fine when acyually its not there. As long as you are having just the scan test and not the smog one. Send your pcm to Speed Inc and have them tune it out they are very popular for doing that for us IL guys

 

Awesome....that was the break I was looking for.

 

Anyone else in GA with OBDII and no EGR or AIR passed emissions this year?

 

I plan on sending them an email about this service. Is there anyone in particular it needs to go to? Thanks.
