NY State insection question
I got a 1989 6 speed.
In short I dumped like 2 grand into my car recently all new injectors,tuneup some burn off relay. I dont have the $$ to do any more. My service engine light is on, I pulled the codes myself 3 flashes pause 6 flashes i think its a egr code. I could give a rats *** about the code, if i unplug the battery wait 30 min plug it back in i can go like 50 miles before the light comes back on. My question is will I be able to pass inspection, will they beable to tell I reset the codes. I have a guy that will pass anything but i know w/ check engine lights he can't do it.

JMHO, if you're sure the DTC is the EGR, the most common mechanical failure might be that the pintel is carboned up...after r&r'ing the EGR a little T/B spray on it usually clears the pintel and the valve functions normally and all ya need is to make a gasket to put it back on. However if the module for the EGR is N/G then it's parts time.

I should have thought of this sooner, you can use some SeaFoam and that may clear up any carbon in the EGR without doing any wrenching on it!
