Remeber to pull the predator tune off, or the dealership may wipe it over with the stock program, and then you will lose it forever and have to buy a new tune.

RE: Failed emissions again F*******k
ok now i am starting to think that the place i took it to has a messed up or barley working connection plug b/c i went out to my car and hooked up the predator and i could look at diagnostics and it told me my vin number and stuff, so i dont think there is anything wrong with the computer in the car. Right now im about to go to my friends house to borrow hid 0dbII reader that works on all cars and see if it works. If it turns out that im going through all of this trouble b/c the shop has a p.o.s. testing thing im gonna be pissed.

The guy who tested my car this time was cool but last time the guy who tested me was a total a$$hole, and i think it was b/c i was only 16 and had a nicer car then him
edit: You can fail emissions for to dark of window tinting?
