Doubt that will work. Out here if the title isn't in your name, that you cant register or anything for the car. They check everything when you go to get your sticker.
Might be forced to sell my 98 LSC...

Michigan plate with 2011 tab on it = no stickers, no inspections
When I was stationed in Texas I bought a truck and registered it in michigan to skip all that bs inspection and window sticker. Never got pulled over once, plus window tint laws no longer apply to you.
Just a idea like was mentioned before, go out of state, get a po box, say you just moved their, register your car.

Oh, gotcha, was a little backwards on what I thought you meant. Just glad my area doesn't even bother with smog anymore. Even though everything is still intact, but nice to know if I decide to start an assault on the environment here, I wont have any speed bumps. :lol:

If you can get past the visual, then I don't see why you just don't get a better tuner.
I've got both EGR off and IMRC deletes in my Cobra, and I've passed NJ inspections for years, which plug into the OBDII port also.
I can double-check on my LSC tomorrow by turning off both the EGR and IMRC's if you'd like.

This is what Sniper tells me when I asked if SCT can disable the P1000 code...
"The SCT tuners, like most scan tools including Recon, can clear the P1000 code however it will show up again as soon as the PCM realises that the various readiness tests have not been completed. This can take 5 minutes to 5 days depending on where and how you drive.
With Delta Force/Commando you can disable the tests, which may disable the throwing of the P1000 DTC, I don't know--however AFAIK that does not cause the OBD2 readiness (test complete) checks via PID 0101 to be set; it is likely (though it varies from state to state) this generic PID that is being tested to see if all tests have been completed."
I have cleared the P1000 code with the Sniper and it does come back right away. I don't have the delta force/commando so I can't disable the tests...

I'm not talking about clearing the code, I'm talking about telling the PCM that EGR and IMRC's are not installed. Therefore, they are not tested, and subsequently, cannot fail.
Looks like you have some choices:
Upgrade your tuner so you can really disable the EGR and IMRC. :shifty:
Switch to a SCT Pro-Racer Package.
Move.
Sell the car.
Please check tomorrow if you have time on your Mark VIII if you get the P1000 code when removing egr and imrcs. The IMRC's and EGR are removed from my tune... I don't just clear IMRC and EGR CEL codes... i'm still a little confused about this myself...

DLF is usually right on the money about this stuff, so hopefully it works out.

As I said earlier, I've run a tune without EGR and IMRC's for years now on my Cobra, but I'd be happy to do the same on my LSC tomorrow and I'll let you know the results.
I've already created a test tune file to do this.
Sniper says,
"You will get the P1000 code until all OBD2 tests (including EGR) are completed successfully, with EGR disabled in the tune the EGR readiness flag will never be set = P1000 = fail..."
maybe some states allow you to have the p1000 code as it does not set off the CEL...

Well, I've been doing some research also, and that may very well be true.
I see a flag in my Cobra tune file to disable the readiness test, but not in my LSC file.
I'll run some tests tomorrow, and we'll see.

If you have the calibrator version of the software you get those options and more...
My CE has 111k on it.

Well, unfortunately, I was wrong.
After loading the tune disabling the EGR, and driving the car a bit, I still have the P1000 DTC.
If you want to keep the car, consider installing the EGR. Since you already have the Cobra fuel rail, it shouldn't be that hard.
I haven't done it yet, but I will in the next couple of weeks, as I change over to a Cobra intake on my LSC.
Sorry to get your hopes up.
