As the title states, I have a 1996 OBD2 vehicle with a GEN3 swap, and I need to get it inspected. The shop tried plugging in to the OBD2 port, but it would not communicate with the state software. What are my options? Is there a wiring fix, would a standalone help? I am sure I am not the first person trying to inspect an OBD2 car with a JDM engine in NJ. I hope there is an easy fix here.

On the bright side, if you get good at it, swapping the engine in and out can be done in a day! Last time I pulled mine out in 6 hours I think, and even less time to put it back in. And that was all by myself cause my LeMons teammates are that good. Keep all the wiring mods within the engine harness, and you'll be golden.
Or, get it registered in PA as a recreational vehicle driven under 6k miles/year. Then, anything goes |
