Sweet, but it's not just about starting you then need to burn out any collected crap (collected carbon) in the pathways. That's why internal combustion engines are a thing of the past. They are so inefficient compared to electric. My advice, buy electric young man.

I got that. I was just mentioning the dead battery as an additional challenge, not suggesting it was related to the failed test or collected carbon. I'll def buy electric when there's a big used market, and the infrastructure is more robust.

ECM onboard computer in some cars will fail an emissions test with a Not Ready code after car battery is disconnected. Drive until ECM has collected enough statistics from sensors before test.

That is interesting. If that's the case, that may have also contributed to the initial failed test. Just glad it's done, and the sticker is on my car. Chicago don't fuck around with the fines, 'cause we're broke.

Yeah if you had a dead battery it was definitely that. C2G is right about cleaning out the crap and it is a good idea to get you catalitic converter hot. Even this year I dealt with it. I had to do a few things on the jeep before I got it inspected. The battery was pulled before the work and I had to drive it around so all sensors where ready before it would inspect. It will just say "not ready" till it is.

I'm wondering if they'll get their shit together to decide on a common infrastructure and commit. They also need to come up with better batteries. I'd really like to see us change over from internal combustion.

Yup I didn't even think about re-learning sigh and I better get my shit together, two of my vehicles need smog certificates for registration this year. Time to start nagging motivating the maintenance part of the team :bigjoint:

Electric vehicles need to come a long way to make it in the cold mountains. But I'd definitely like to see mass transportation cabs and trucking go electric where it would work.

I lost my boyfriends 1969 SS Malibu in the Disneyland parking lot when it was clear and a million.

Lost my friends car in the parking structure at the MGM in Las Vegas. I let us ‘look’ for it for about 45 minutes before I reminded him that we parked it in the NYNY parking structure across the street, and had migrated to the MGM several hours prior...

Good times.
