Another one that I know of took two weeks of commuting back and forth to work before the meters reset and got a pass. Just from disconnecting the battery!
So start the Crossfire up and let it idle for a day or so - that might help.
That's good to know, I forget what the failures were but basically the guy said the car did not have enough miles under its belt since the repair. Maybe I should stick $70 in the tank and take you and your wife out to lunch and get to know you. LOL
There has been a lot of upset people with this problem.
Ontario driving cycle to pass the E test.
