Just tried to have my NYS inspection done on the mustang....emissions failed of course looking under the car at the garage relized what I thought was cats was two glass packs or similar type mufflers if you can call them that welded in. Anyone know of any good tricks to get it to pass I did change the PCV valve today as the car was putting out some blue smoke and that cured the smoke issue so maybe that had something to do with not passing since the computer has the O2 sensor and such deleted or set to read ready. My next question will be if I end up having to put cats on it whats a cheap cheap set of 2.5" cats I can buy for the inspection they will most likely be removed after.

The tech said if it passed the computer I was good unfortunately the computer mapping wasn't good enough so I will look at a local scrap yard for some decent cats to put on so the computer gets happy.

NYS wants all new converters to have a five year warranty. Many of the 49 state legal converters fail after a short time of usage. When it fails obviously it no longer works. Unfortunately new converters with a five year warranty will be even more expensive.

NYS wouldn't be getting as much in sales tax on a used converter, maybe that's it.

Moral of the story, leave NYS or get a car built before 1993.

Last I knew cars 1995 and older do not even get the sniffer test.
At least not here in Dutchess co. And North.
Maybe down in Westchester and NYC you get the sniffer test.
Still you are supposed to have cats and smog pump for the visual inspection.

Do you guys in lower NY with 95 and older get the sniffer test?

Anyone around me in the Capital Region have a tuner that I could have you hook up and reactivated the catalyst, EGR monitoring status on my computer. The guy I bought it from had them turned off to pass the old tests and as you know we have the OBDII test now and that doesn't fly don't have time to order a tuner and get it in by Friday of this week June-1 was hoping someone local could just hook up and tune them back in for me. I ordered new cat's and will have to weld back in ports and install the O2 sensors again. Damn Florida car owners vehical's are mint but they strip off everything since they don't have car inspections

I hae no cats on mine.. rear o2 sensors are still turned on in the tune, but i have 1 inch sleave spacers that space the o2s out of the air stream.. ive seen this before where if you turn off the o2s and the egr in the tune, the DMV computer will pick that up.. as far as aftermarket cats go, ive rn them on other cars and never had an issue..id sy spend the money on a good tuner and put it back to a stock tune for the inspection..

Doing a little of both got cats on order and trying to pick up a diablo preditor from a guy on here to get it back to stock tune that way I don't get the guy in trouble cause the cats are on the car but they won't necessarely work. The guy is cool and he does value his job but he is a mechanic because he is in love with cars value vs love= Love FTW!

As far as I know handheld tuners only work for one car that is married to it.

You can't borrow someone else's tuner to reflash yours back to stock.

1, the ecu codes would be different and 2 tuners would make no money if they didnt put this restriction.

You can't borrow someone else's tuner to reflash yours back to stock or make any modifications to your existing map. The only thing you can do is probably read MIL/CEL trouble codes.
