Bonehead move of the day

[kk2002s]

End of last year I was due for inspection, I failed because 2 monitors (SAI and Evap) were incomplete. After messing around looking for SAI leaks, doing all the driving steps, no luck. I was a month away from retest so I decided for first time to go to an Indie. They found issues with evap and made the repairs. When I picked up the car the evap and SAI were still incomplete. I have bluetooth ODBII and app on my phone so I could watch while I drive. On the way home from shop (10-15 miles) I took a quick spin up the Hwy and finally the Evap went complete. I had read that some states allow 1 monitor to be in incomplete status. For the 10 mins I had until I reached the inspection station, I was hoping I didn't get some CEL. I passed as NJ does allow 1 monitor not to complete. Now I'm bugged to figure out what's the issue with the SAI. I just better not wait until last week to fix
Get some type of reader so you can drive and monitor the Monitors. Then you will know when to take it to the station

Good Luck

You should move to Texas where they just look at your car and pass it. Probably because half of us have concealed carry.....

In 2014 Houston (Harris County I guess) required the OBDII monitors to be ready and ok. We left in 2015 so no idea for today.
