Any mods to ECU or exhaust or anything like that?

focusse · 11-04-2011, 11:07 AM

no completely stock....

did the car sat on parking lot or at the dealer for 30 days?!

i had that happen to me, because the car sat for 30 something days, the computer didn't log the emissions data-resulting in no pass.

wow that might be it i just came back from 8 day vacation and i drove car for maybe 2 hours since that ...

just take it to the dealer. if it's stock emissions are warrantied for like 10 years or the life of the car or something.

also a lot of dealers can do the MA inspection for you.

Did you ever get a sticker? I recommend a long drive of over a half hour highway and city.

focusse · 11-07-2011, 07:38 AM

i drove to Foxwoods yesterday 2 hour drive yesterday so that should work !!

i hope you have better luck getting a sticker at the dealer than me, i'm still working on getting mine and its been 3 trips and over a month and a half. i'm crossing my fingers today.
