    I took my 355 in for an emissions test today and it failed. The guy testing it said that I must drive the car for 50 to 100 miles before I get it tested because their computer wasn't calibrating. The form says "test failed due to excessive OBD monitors not ready, return after the vehicle has been driven in accordance with the manufacturer drive cycle." I just had a major done 2 weeks ago and had a Stage 3 X-Ost installed. This never happened to my 328 before. Any ideas?

    You need to go to a Stage 4 emissions station.

    It's a combo of driving miles and cold starts, I had exact same issue. I tried to reset my CEL, drive 50 miles then bring it in. No deal, they're onto that.

    So basically I have to go driving tomorrow? That may be the best diagnosis I have ever heard of :) This may sound strange, but it sounds like I need to drive it for a while and get everything to temp, then turn it off for a bit (lunch for example) then drive it back to temp again.

    You got it! I recommend you drive to Rocky Hill Starbucks and meet up with other owners, tomorrow morning around 8:30 (Rte. 3, right off of 91). See the Ongoing CT gathering thread in the New England section -

    Thanks for the invite but I had a late party last night and waking up early wasn't an option for me. One of these days I will have to make the trip to Starbucks. Maybe a last run in the 328 before I get rid of her......
