The new machines can tell if the tune is stock or custom. If the tune is custom , there is no communication. Hence you fail the test. Your failing not because the car does not pass the test. Their program does not want to evaluate the car. This is an issue. If you put the stock tune back in for inspection , their program will communicate with the car and perform its testing data program. If no emmissions issues are detected, there will be a PASS. They are failing cars that have no emmissions issues and are NYS EMMISSIONS COMPLIANT . They are custom tuned. OPUS INSPECTION took over the NYS contract. 50% of all inspection sites , now have the NEW machines in NYS. The machines have been in operation since JANUARY 2014.:nono:
