Anyways Honda put a new battery in it, and coincidently needed a sticker. Same thing...couldn't do it. Told her to bring it back with 200 hundred more miles on it.
Christ...that could take 9 months! So it looks as if I'll be driving a baby blue civic, a couple times a week now. Boy am I excited!

If any of you aren't feeling your truck at the moment.
Spend the day in a light baby blue stripped down 2013 Honda civic.
I'd rather be in a 1970 beater truck, than that damn thing!

I don't know about where you are at, but in Travis and Williamson County, you can have 1 "not ready" and still pass. Used to be 2, but in the past few years they knocked that down to 1. You should pass now unless there are other issues.

This exact thing happened to me a couple months back with the 5* tune. I thought I was going to crap my khakis when the guy told me that my new truck just failed inspection. I couldn't figure it out so I got to talking to a friend. He told me to take it back to stock and drive it a few days that way. Took it back in a couple days later and it passed. Hell my mustang would pass emissions with a race tune and no cats!

I have this same issue but I have a 100% stock truck.
Only had an oil change at a Ford dealership recently after driving from Arizona to Texas.
This issue was discovered during the inspection before I can register my vehicle in the state of Texas.
