There are some cars which are documented to never have all the monitors ready. The 95-99 Eclipse/Talon is one of them. In order for you to pass the check you need to go to Mitsubishi to have the monitors all disabled, drive to the DCC without turning the car off and getting them to scan it. It's a few hundred dollars to get this done each time and MUST be done even if you put all new sensors, ECU and wiring.

I have a highly modified 1995 Eclipse that I need to do an emissions with. Ughh.. Its going to be so annoying.

signed that - the whole program from the beginning was pointless.

modern used cars (think 2 year old cars) are failing the new test at an alarming rate....seems the car's computers can't be "read" with the new software unless they've been through a complete drive cycle

Why are 2-year-old cars even taking the test? Isn't it 5 (or 7) years now?

I have been hearing that some smart people who know how to work with OEM ECU programming (on vehicles that have decent aftermarket support), can enable any readiness bit you want, no matter what hardware is on the car or whether it works or not. It'll cost you something, though.

Sounds like a money-making venture I should look into...

7 years, unless it is a car you are buying or selling.

My '04 Mazda3 would have failed the new test had I not had it tested last November. It runs with near zero tail-pipe emissions, yet because a sensor on the gas tank is defective it would not pass the new test.

Michigan scrapped theirs soon after it's inception as well.
It's a farce.

Which is totally a money grab.....just like taxing a car everytime its sold !!!

There is a solution to that. Find a mechanic guy that will accept some money under the table to sign off the paper and transcript fake data. I dude at the job had to do that for his street/track car (he was doing safety as well).

For a '95 they'll use the old tailpipe sniffer test.
