[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16344061, member: 184279"] Looks like you have two items "Not Ready". Is that why you failed? Just those two? Did you ask the Emissions Rep? Can you pass if just one of those items is corrected to read "Ready"? This emissions stuff is a real PITA. I had same failure issues as you. I bought my current car (Roush) a couple of years ago and ended up taking it to a great tuner in New Hampshire. He fixed me up in short order. Most any good tuner would be able to sort this out for you in a jiffy. So before you get too frazzled or worried, I would recommend you seek a qualified tuner. It could be as simple a turning a few things on in the tune. That's what I did, then I bought SCT-X4 from the tuner with two tunes on it... my original 'power tune' and the new 'emissions tune', so I can switch back and forth as needed. If you follow one of the Ford "drive cycle" protocols, you should be able to get all monitors reset in about 20 miles, maybe a little more, but all should reset pretty quick. You'll have to do this 'drive cycle' crap (every time) as soon as you mess around with the tune. My car is supercharged (625 rwhp), with hi-flow cats and no problem getting the 02 sensors (and all other monitors) to reset quickly. [/QUOTE]
