I'm having some difficulty locating the drive cycle recommendations for resolving "Catalyst Incomplete". @mrblaine previously posted a link to the Chrysler specific junk but that link is now 404. I wish I saved it.
My registration is absolutely due on 28th of February (30 days grace included)
I want to say it is this:
1) Warm engine at idle until it's in closed loop
2) Drive @ 30-45mph and @ 1300-2000rpm for ?? minutes
3) Repeat 20+ times, resulting in a big FU each time from the OBD
My specific issue with the new rules (which seem to be transposed directly from the california CARB website) is that they are refusing to put my jeep on the dynamometer (to test the ACTUAL emissions) without ALL of the the ERM's in the "ready" state. This is a problem for me. I have only ever had 2/3 monitors ready during past tests.
SOOOO...can I force that loop?
Is this indicative of a bad sensor or cat?
I replaced the cat myself 4yrs ago with a cheepo $120 (federal standard) universal magnaflow to pass emissions and the difference was impressive. Apparently longevity is the issue with the fed cats vs CARB though
Do I throw $600 in parts for a CARB cat at this or drive to Cheyenne and risk a (phenomenal...read $47,000/day) fine or just fuckin move to Santa Fe and start a new life?
The O2's are all around 6yrs old, probably 35K miles and NKG (Amazon)
This is a catch-22 fubard situation IMO. Guessing ill have to "get professional help" from a state sponsored garage?????????????/
Please advise
