MD Emissions - v.2 or something
Okay MD boys, I'll be in your neck of the woods within the next two weeks!

Now I need an UPDATE to emissions/safety inspections for MD.

Friend of mine that works on APG recently came up to NJ while TDY, and I had asked him how his inspections and such went on his truck and bimmer.

He tells me that they didn't do OBD2 testing on his bimmer?! IIRC he has an 03 or 04 3 series, and that's obviously an OBD2 car. He said that the only thing they did was a two speed idle test or something like that, (the tailpipe sniffer test). I need to know for sure if this is all they're doing now. If they're not scanning for codes on the ECU anymore, I don't need to worry about having a particular ECU that can defeat these codes via firmware.

HIT ME UP!

Im guessing your worried about the b14? When i got my p11 tested all they did was the gas cap test and plugged into the diagnostic port.

Yep, B14.

Strange that my friend's car didn't have the OBD 2 diagnostics test done... He said that they just two speed idled it or something of that nature...

Well I figured out what to do.

I'm going to get two ECU's. One B13 R/T and one B14 basic. Stepdown harness and will run the B13 daily, just need to pass emission/OBD with the B14 basic.

Got my fingers crossed that the B14 basic will not throw any codes.
