from what i've heard, it's harder to pass a b18c with an obdII then it is with an obdI. my suggestion is, search to see if people have had better luck with an obdI to pass inspection. lately H-T has had a lot of threads about passing inspections, and why they did and not passing inspections, and why they failed.
hope this helped you.

good luck!

Are you still in contact with whoever did the swap? Your DLC might just be there for show if they got lazy and didn't install it properly.

DLC stands for the data link connector under the dash where OBD2 scanners connect.

Check to see if you have battery voltage on pin #16 of the DLC with the ignition switch in RUN. Some scanners will not communicate without power on this pin. Could just be a blown fuse.
