Another "Won't pass inspection" thread

[LimeLight]

I read every thing I could find on this forum and others and still NOT READY.

Brenspeed tune......this time with O2 sensors on.
driven 200 miles..... did the recommended drive cycle (twice)
O2, heated O2, Cats, Heated Cats not ready.
Only mods other than tune is CAI, axle backs and underdrive pully's.
Attempted to go back to stock tune and fuel pump fuse blows as soon as you turn the key.
Go back to custom and she runs great.
Brenspeed never heard of that before.
Disconnected battery and started fresh....same results.
Car is now 9 months overdue.

HELP

I have a CAI and axle backs and Brenspeed tune and I've never had a problem passing. I usually load the stock tune about a week before I take it in for inspection. I don't know why loading the stock tune would cause the fuel pump fuse to blow.

 

[92BIGREDBEAST]

Yea. The fuse thing is very odd. Never once heard of that. PM Dan @ Realspeed and get is professional advice. Good luck.

What sucks is that NYS has the inspection computer Internet-wired so that when they plug it in, it sends a signal to the NYSDMV database and compares your car to their stock charts. Anything out of the ordinary and it gets flagged.
Some serious new NYS Emissions stuff coming down the pipeline. Good luck man!

OK, so I get a hold of SCT and tell them about the stock tune blowing a fuse evertime I load it.
They tell me they will replace the stock tune. They get the one off the tuner, and today give me a new one.
I load the stock tune back in again and the car actually starts.......... but the fu__in' check engine light comes on. Code is P1639, "Vehicle ID Block Corrupted: Not Programmed".
WTF do I do now. Obviosly I'm calling SCT in the morning. Any reference I've seen says it has to go back to the dealer to be reprogrammed.

 

[redlawyers]

You may have to get a new PCM. Then once it's been installed, the Vehicle Identification: "VID block" will have to be program to the PCM. Good luck. That sucks man.

 

[FrostByte]

If im not wrong the PCM has 100k mile warranty no matter yr of car. At least that is what i was told when Ford replaced mine for free (PCM & labor) last summer. GL

Alright......they never put my VIN in the replacement stock tune. They took care of that and light went out.
Drove the car 45 miles, had a readiness check, only 2 systems not ready, start car, check engine light comes on.
P0171 and P0174 b1 andb2 running lean. clear the code and it comes back on after a couple of miles.
gonna try cleaning the MAF sensor, if that dosen't work I'm going back to stock air box.

damn, I wonder if you could get some good luck...for a change.

You need to run with your stock air box installed.

 

[iiiiiiijklmm]

HOORAY

Installed the stock air box and drove about 10 miles and we went to ready mode.
Took it straight to garage after work and it passed

Now I have to reinstall everything to get back to normal

This whole thread and others like it are going to cause me to have my car registered in another state.
