ok the car went for inspection and failed...its a 98 hatch with a b16 block and gsr head with an obd2 - obd1 conversion harness on it. they said the ny computer would not connect to my ecu...wtf.
im wondering if when you type the vin number in the ny state computer thinks its reading obd2, and thee obd1 ecu is messing it up. i dont know, i need help from anyone who has had any probnlems with this new inspection crap, bc my inspecion expired last week.......please help if you can

 

it sounds like they want to you swap it back to OBD2.. they cant read it otherwise.

 

dude we are all fucked... my inspection is 2 months up now...

new york...

 

Not me....South Carolina.....No inspection type crap.

no offense but i dont want this thread to turn into .... hey n rpoblems here, or **** ny, or we are all screwed thread, there are allot of people who are going to have problems now andid like this thread to turn into a reference for what new yorkers can do to get by this very biased inspection

 

In NY, all new computer/smog inspections are on cars that SHOULD have OBD2 ecu's, just the fact that you have an OBD1 ecu in the car will not void you from the inspection, you must have an OBD2 ecu in the car if it's supposed to be there... hense all 96-00 civic's must past smog tests to pass inspections with the new NY law.... much like CA laws.

Part of the reason I took my turbo kit off my 99 si. Good luck.

OBD0-1 cars are not subject to the same laws as the newer models are. I haven't looked into it much but I'm pretty sure you have to change your **** over to OBD2 to pass.

so if i just put say a n obd2 ex ecu on my car for the inspection, then it should work?

 

dont worry dude, im screwed too- obd2a hx with a chipped obd1 ecu on a ls motor swap and turbo. my car will never pass again.

get an obd2 ecu and make sure it has no codes in the memory, because the machine will find them

 

how am i gonna know if its got codes....other then the light flashing or being on?
i remember when i had my obd2 scan tool i could check to see if the evap system was "ready"......but it said it wasnt....im sure the albany computer will see this too

 

we started doing this style inspection about 4 months ago. the only way to pass is with an obd2 ecu. sorry. bleed, where in ny are you?

You can go to an advance auto type place and they will clear the codes off of an OBDII ecu for free.... you need an OBDII ecu to pass.

 

yeah i remember my friend sending me a link to this, i have a 92, but he has a 99 so he was sayign he has to keep an obd2 comp...good luck

 

can i have any obd2 ecu???


my car is an hx with an ls swap converted to obd1. can i just use an obd2 ls ecu and pass??

this goes for any car, like can a dx with a b16 swap run a b16 obd2 ecu and be okay, even though its not the right ecu for the car?

Technically yes. You just have to be CEL free and pass certian "tests" the computer throws at the car through the OBDII port.

 

are these tests basically the indicators that say evap system ready, fuel system ready.......so on and so forth

 

^^

 

they started doing that in jersey long time ago over a year now.
thats why having an eg owns hahaha j/p
i had the inspection done then month later did the swap

not really, if they require you to plug into the ECU the ECU keeps track of Drive cycles, basicaly the times you turned on and off the ignition. Now if the number was low then the ECU cannot do the block learn so no matter what the ECU will still be in open loop mode which can prevent you from passing.

 

agghhh i hate inspection!!!

im doin a mini- me and hmt setup on my 97 y7 and im gonna be fucked for inspection idk what im gonna do.

i live in the rochester area in ny

 

bump bc i need to know if i have to buy a d16y7 and swap it in or if i can pass with an obd2 ecu

 

find someone you can pay to pass you..

its all different....as of july ny state hooks you ecu into a computer in albany and they check your ecu and determine if youll pass you
