Default Inspection?

I had my computer flashed back to a completely stock setting and then got a new tune, I took it to get it inspected and it says it is not ready. Has anybody had this problem before?

Yes ! If you didn't put miles or ignition cycles on the re tuned pcm, you get the not ready message. I think it's 200 or 300 miles required satisfy the emissions inspection. At least that is what they told me in Penna. Good luck !

It might depend on where you're from. In NC it is 100 miles.

There are several I/M monitors, it should not take 200 miles to get them set. In California, you can still be inspected for a smog as long as no more then 2 are not set. Most of the time, normal driving, 100 miles should do it.
