Emission testing..

No, it's OBD port testing.

So, should this clear within 100miles or so? Or do you think I may have a different problem? I'm hesitant to try to plug Gryphon back in and see if it works.. but if I do that, it will probably trigger it again and I'll have to wait longer and it's due by 15th.. but once I fail twice, I have to call some emission bs place and talk to them, so I have no clue what will be involved with that if I fail again.

Is there something else I can try?

Set it back to stock, drive for 200miles and would that work? I'm reading leaving it tuned and just unplugging from OBD port will pass, but now that I failed once.. scared it will happen the 2nd time even driving it for 125miles!

A buddy suggested having like Autozone or someone try to read codes from OBD port to see if their scanner will read it. I would assume if they can, the guys at emission testing should also.. I should have no codes, but just seeing if their scanner will read it?

Have you tried pulling codes?

Is the gryphon seeing any codes? Cause autozone will see the same ones...

I have not plugged it back in because I figure if I do, I'll trigger the same code and have to drive another 100+ miles.. but if I have Autozone pull them I think I'll be safe? I'm going to try before work.

Autozone pulled no codes.

I tried emissions 2nd time, OBD still not ready. My buddy found a site on what to do for the drive cycle and it was from Ford Motor Company so I did that. Went back, but being I "failed" twice I got locked out of the system. I have to go through ADEQ, Enviromental Quality bs.. so I went to them, they checked after I did what was said for drive cycle and I'm still not ready.

My question is right now... is there anyway that being that I'm still tuned, it's not letting my computer relearn this? It's showing my EVAP monitor and EGR monitor isn't ready. The guy was cool and told me how EVAP is hard to get to read, but will come on first before EGR... he explained how to try to get it to come on was have gas at 1/2 tank and keep it there and drive city/highway... but it can't be under 1/2, but not to much over 1/2.... he told me a lady drove for 5 weeks and STILL wasn't ready. He even had his Expedition on the dyno and a scan tool measuring everything and had it perfect and it still didn't want to register it. I asked if I should just disconnect battery and redo it and he said no since I'm so close. I just need 1 more monitor to be ready for him to unlock it, then I can go down and try emissions. Not guaranteed to pass but it's my only way to see.

So can this get tagged and have Bill read this? I just need to know if it's possible the Gryphon being tuned still may be causing my computer to not be ready? I've got 6 days til it's due and either I keep driving for next few days and HOPE it clears, or reset it and put it back at stock. But then it's possible it takes even longer to get everything reading, ready.

I still think that the shop has a faulty cord....
