Hopefully it will all work out for you! Let us know.

For what its worth, I had full long tube headers, catless and full exhaust on my 6.0L GTO and went to the Lincolnshire location and passed without issue...the place was filling up with gas fumes too....I had the rear 02's removed from the ECU, and they said NOT READY and it passed without issue....hmmm

I believe it was around early 2010.

I pulled the car out in late march after sit from November 2009.

I just got my emissions request today in the mail for the IS-F. I'll go to Waukegan location, I'm all stock exhaust though.

Just passed my inspection and emissions test. I was kinda nervous after this thread popped up.

ok so where do I go to find the techstream device? I went back to my wrench and he is still showing that the O2 sensors and O2 heat sensor is still incomplete. I have put over 500 miles on the car since I last took it in for the emissions test. I'm a tad confussed with this so any help is welcome.

techstrem device = dealer tech

according to their link it's only $5799

find a new testing facility may be an easier option.

You can buy a copy of it off ebay with cable. I would NOT use it for flashing the ECU / etc. I would only use it for changing settings / reading sensors. Mine works well. I used this install guide http://www.toyota-4runner.org/genera...-8-64-bit.html to get it to work on a 64bit PC.

I don't exactly feel that I'm up to fixing this myself using that and my PC. Are there any other options out there?

Sounds like something might not be right with the O2 sims ?

I'm going to have one more tech take a look at this then I will be talking with sikky about replacing the two sims.

update: did the drive cycle and still nothing. so I'm sending the sim's and module to sikky for inspection and hopefully an answer. have to go get an extension on my emissions tomorrow so that should be fun. will report back in about 10 days when I get back from vacation.
