Default Emissions Testing - Fail!

Tried to take car for registrationm today. First time since H/C/I....
Anyway, logged in with EFI Live and saw 2 not ready's but didn't know WI rules. Found out they only allow one.....so I failed.
My two not ready's were O2 Sensor & O2 Sensor Heater. Had a few PO153's this year so may have a problem with Passenger front O2 Sensor. Actually bought a new rear O2 sensor to try in front along with LG adapters but haven't taken time to install. Up to this point have all 4 sensors like OEM in headers with some tuning. Have a feeling I could drive forever and not clear these.

Should I try and change the sensor which will mean dropping passenger header or is there some tuning tricks I can use?

EFI allows you to set everything to ready state.

Good luck.

My last emmissions inspection the inspector asked if there were any codes. My repsonse was "None that you'll ever see".

He laughed also.
