Default inspection problem
I finally discovered why the car would not pass after a new battery, (o2 sensors/catalyst not ready)..after driving all those different driving cycles to pass, and 800 miles !, I "found" a stupid g-force chip from the previous owner.. unhooked it then she passed ! ..I'm remembering this one. Damn !
