How long does it take a computer to reset and check itself. I got my truck smoged the otehr day and i had a p1000 so they wouldn't pass it. I know why i have it. I returned my truck back to stock from my edge so it would pass. Well thats why i failed. Imagine that???? LOL Anyways i want to know if there is any type of driving or anyhting i can do to make it reset itself and get me in the clear to pass smog???

 

1. disconnect the bat for 15-20 min reconnect (clears comp)

2. go to napa,kragen,autozone what ever and ask for a bottle of Guaranteed to pass
(and yes that is what it is called) put it in on a FULL TANK OF FULE run it out and fill it back up

3. take it to get it smogged

worked every time for me

So - several drive cycles - depending ... could take a little while...

Good luck

 

only a suggestion my 1992 f150 4.9L I6 allways passes with the "pass-in-a-bottle"

 

I already "passes". And thats funny. Im from out of state and only need it t odrive on a military base. So i decided to take my truck to one that offered free retests so that i would be able to see what i would bneed to fix and then fix it rather than dumping a ton of money into theings that I thought i would have to change. Like intake and exhast as i dont have the CARB stickers for them. Anyways i passed everything including the emmisions with an incompleate exhast. LOL The only thing i didn't pass was the computer test cuase of the p1000 and i have put almost 170 miles on it and it still hasn't gone away. What can i do in my driving to help the comp reset?

 

The 98 - Under the dash in the fuse block - middle row 2nd fuse up from the bottom . Should be a 5amp Orange - Pull it and re-install ..

No more P1000

 

Wazzat do ???

 

Its the P1000 fuse silly

It resets that KAM is all..

 

Okay!

OP - make sure ya got spares lol

 

LOL , The 98 , you can - they changed all that around in 99.

 

Ya got a picture of that????

LOL

Anyways i will try that in the morning.

Is that your quick fix in a bottle.

If it works i owe ya a rack!!

 

Nope no pick of that - A rack ? Whats that? - Up here , it's a swift kick in the nutts.... YOUR RACKED THEN..


Did you mean some crack?

Uuuh , I think I'll pass on that one ..

 

A rack of beers.... Thats what we call it. Anyways how does pulling a fuse help that. Wouldn't a cut of power to something cuase it to take more time to reset?

 

Fuse 24 under the hood does it as-well.

 

I got pictures - you don't really need them do yuh
