E85 and emissions?
No more sniffer test in Colorado. They just hook up the OBDII and let it idle. To my knowledge you will NOT pass readiness without a SAI pump present due to readiness issues and that's not something you can code out

Matt - so do they just do the sniffer at revs? Or only OBDII testing? I'd almost rather them do the dyno/sniffer than the OBDII readiness check, because they just scan the dashboard for CELs which wouldn't catch the readiness states of the SAI (that's the only one I'm worried about really).
I just toggled the secondary 02 and SAI back on and will upload the map and drive the car to see if it trips any CELs. Not sure on the thresholds for failed readiness. Let's hope it's at least one.

Before just the plug in test when I took my 2003 Turbo in for CA smog test the car was not put on the rollers the tech just did the tests, with a sniffer in an exhaust outlet, one test at 1500RPMS and a 2nd test at 2500RPMs.
Well it looks like I'll need to reinstall the SAI as I received the P0410/P1411 code this morning. I'll re-install it and see if that clears the code and then should be ready for the emissions testing.
Not really worried about the actual sniffer test (which according to John they don't do anymore) but more the OBDII readiness test.

You can do a readiness check even with the Enthusiast version of Durametric.
Can yours do a 'readiness' check on mine Matt? Or do I need my own?
The above smog test sounds like what they have in Cali , with one exception. The visual "tire" inspection.... I'm sure they don't want cars on the smow cover roads in the winter months. As for California, being that it doesn't really rain here. There's a bunch of cars with semi bald / worn tires running around that causes accidents during the winter months.
My 997T Passed my Emissions test running E85 with Cobb last year off 52nd and Marshall st.
No rollers but they did connect the exhaust to tubing. This may have been connected for exhaust fumes though. I have to state that the Staff spent more time taking photos in front of the car before it was even brought into the bay for testing. Little annoying.
I'm running 1000CC injectors but, i don't think this even matters. Just ask Cobb provide an emission passing tune/flash and your on your way.
Most emission facilities that cant get an accurate reading usually do an underbody mirror check for Cats though. Be sure to have them installed, even if they are hollowed out.
