Inspection issues

I went to get the car inspected and had problems with the emissions test. They could ot get a high speed test because of the traction control. The car will not allow the wheels to spin on the dyno. Any suggestions?

Explain to the test station that the traction control can not be defeated, they have a secondary method of testing the cars which requires them to test the car at two RPM settings. They use an adjustable rod and depress the go pedal to get to the desired RPM.

Hint: Make sure the car is hot and at full operational temp before pulling into the test station otherwise your hydrocarbon levels will be high due to a cool catalytic.

Get rid of the car! I'll be glad to have it trucked off your property for $15,000.00
