microtech?

papadoo 06-26-2011 11:18 AM

yes microtech

hard to exactly understand your problem from your post, but engine problems aside, the Microtech itself causes the CEL.

Your car will not pass NYC emissions testing with the Microtech installed. It will also not pass if you have removed the CAT and do not have the PCM reflashed to mask the CAT readiness tests.

Resetting the light will also reset the readiness flags and he still will not pass.

You will have difficulty passing like that :( You need to mask the CEL's at the very least with an AP.....or remove and add stuff back to be able to pass

Or find someone to bribe to pass you LOL

you laugh, but that might be the best option. lol

that is a lot of CELs, and along with those, the CEL will always be lit with the Microtech installed.

My opinion: Figure out what piping configuration would work best with Cobb AP and go ahead and purchase the service/device from MM. You living up north will be a disaster as the weather changes, Its cheaper, more efficient, and just a smarter decision to try to find a way to work with Cobb AP.
