I tried the emission friendly tune from Bama (have diablo sport) didn't work after about 200 miles. Installed the stock tune back in. I performed a number of drive cycles (400 miles) no luck. Checked under the car the cat sensors are in doesn't look like they were tapper with. I don't know were the O2 or ev sensors are located?

When I requested the new tunes, I told them THe only change I wanted from my previous tune was that the 02 sensors needed to be ON/enabled. Other than that, I'm not sure what other changes, if any, were made.

Still no luck! Replaced the C&L CAI with stock air filter (stock Tune) took for two drive cycles no sensors enabled. Disconnected battery tried two more drive cycles still "not ready" Cat / EV/ O2 sensors. I talked to two mechanics they didn't tell anything except for what I've already tried.
I checked everything is stock. I perform the drive in temperatures above 40 and followed drive cycles to the T. Going to try one more drive. After that I don't know, maybe replace computer.

The car wasn't inspected due NJ allows new car a number of years of non inspection when purchased new. I contacted the previous owner and stated the car was purchased "as is" but is willing to talk. At this point I would like to just find out what is wrong. The car only has 4,000 miles on it and is in perfect condition. I hate to tie the car up in a legal battle.

At this point, if you've put the stock air box back on, take it to Ford and have the PCM reflashed.
If you decide to reflash, make sure you've unmarried the tuner.
