Yesterday I reran the Roush throttle body calibration process one more time and this time everything converged quickly. [It may be iterative and need 3 or 4 times to actually get full convergence although they don't say that.] Part of this process is to set idle at 1000RPM.

So yesterday I spoke with the emissions exception gods at the State of Colorado and he suggestedsetting the idle from 1000RPM to as close to but below the limit of 1350RPM. I chose 1250-1300 from the software (not the mechanical tach).

Guess what! It Passed!





The tech guy at the state said that this is pretty close to perfect and that any tweeks I do will now be in the 10% range but not 1/2 again. So I'm done. I may still take it to a tuner for a final "tune" but the basic mechanical and electrical problems that came with engine have been overcome.

This software has a "real time dynamic tune" wizard and I may run it just to see what it does. Like any tuner it's easy to put stuff back.

Now I have to get the VIN inspection repeated because the officer didn't fill it out correctly (they told me what he should put in the boxes), and I have to get it weighed. Plate SPRSNAK is waiting...

Sales tax hurts...

Congratulations twobjshelbys! Registration and smog....always an adventure...then the tax man cometh.

Will your car need to pass smog on a periodic basis, or is this a one time deal?
