Anything pending? Get a cheap ODBII dongle and install Torque (or other ODB readers). Totally worth it.

Already got me self an OBD2 scanner. No dice, o2 sensor may be pooched.

I did flash a map, but I left the stock cel codes checked off, could that be it? Just wanted to make sure before ordering the parts.

Just go for a drive and it'll come back. When I was debugging mine I could clear the CEL and it'd come back within 30km.

Edit: also the car was kinda bogging down and just generally not running right.

Sorry, that's not what I meant. I don't have any CELs right now, but in ATR these codes are unchecked by default:

P0030, P0420, P0456, P0607, P260F, U0101

My question is, would any of those impact the readiness monitors for O2 or EVAP?

I had no issues

My Mazda 3 was able to pass emissions with the evap system not ready. Was ok providing I wasn't selling the car. Evap is temperature based. When it's colder out your evap recirc system isn't normally being used.

1 not ready is OK, 2 not ready is a fail.

Mines getting the test on Saturday.

We'll see how it goes with no butterflies in the intake and the EGR blocked off.

Oh you're screwed lol

Hahaha just don't care at this point. Give me a conditional and I'll deal with it later in the year.

EGR block off can pass. Have mine disabled via tune (CEL delete ). No idea about butterfly valve.

I like your thinking.

you'll pass, just make sure the code for no butterflies is blocked from causing a CEL....same with the EGR.

you will get an EGR Not Ready but are fine if that's the only Not Ready

They just cost a lot more in gas than the MS3

Anyone have a brand new downpipe gasket lying around before I go buy one from the dealership?

I've had a CeL for like 1yr now with running rich at idle

It's winter, winter tires and it's raining buckets

What's wrong with these people?

MajesticBlue was correct. Passed the etest zero issues.
