... afterchanging the spark plugs, and playing Superchips Nintendo with your settings?

You CAN'T do an emissions test!!! https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/smileyashamed005-1.gif

Onboard computer reads - "VEHICLE NOT READY." https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/slaphead-1.gif

I have an 85 mile roundtrip to make tomorrow, and some more driving to do on Sunday. Then we'll see if the computer is ready to be read on Monday. If not, it's back to the factory settings, and then maybe a test AFTER Thanksgiving...

LMAO Hahah that's funny bro. 100 miles should do the trick for you.

hahahahahaha

has nothing to do with the spark plugs though. It's resetting the computer with the superchips program that was the problem. Need to wait for all of the tests to complete to make sure no emissions DTCs are set.

I had the same problem when I replaced my cats and o2 sensors. I scheduled my inspection the following day and it didnt have enough time to run through all of the parameters. It took almost 250 miles for it to run through everything. I was a little upset!

Well, the good news is, after an 85 mile trip on Friday, and a couple of 20 milers Saturday & Sunday, she passed with flying colors today! https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/wootsmiley-1.gif Did a little "mountain climbing" on Saturday (well... it was a NICE day, so we DROVE up Mt. Washington, to look at the Pittsburgh skyline. Got some great pics... and if I ever get the software necessary to download them off the camera, I'll post them! https://theultimatejeep.com/images/imported/2011/11/smileyrolleyes010-1.gif) with the kids - they all like piling in it.

Gotta flush the radiator and change the thermostat NEXT Wednesday, but she'll ALMOST be ready for winter soon!

If your computer has a SD slot most do now take the memory card out of the camera and plug in your computer. Then it's just like a thumb drive at that point click and drag or copy and paste the pics over. I never use the camera software anymore this way is much easier and faster.

I built this one in '06 w/o the slot (D'OH!), but I actually own one of those (scavanged off another machine), and INTEND to install it in an empty bay... one of these days... ;)
