Heh, Heh... I tried to get over on the NJ inspection this way and it did
not work. I pulled the EFT (? - if I am remembering it correctly) fuse to
reset the codes and then pulled it right in. I had a code and was trying to
fake out the system by having it run through before the code reset itself
and the inspection picked that up. It failed solely because the system "was
not ready". I ended up faking myself out.

In most states, if your check engine light is on, they will not pass your
vehicle. You are lucky that they even bothered to check the code.

I am in Texas. The inspection report failed, because of code P0401. And,
the 'Check Engine Light' has been on for some time. I should not have taken
the car for inspection before taking care of the Engine Light. How is the
tube detached in order to clean it? Are they other parts to clean? If it
is a blocked tube, how deep down do I need to go, while clearing it?
Thanks.

In some states, the inspectors are independent organizations that are not
allowed to make repairs (they only do inspections). In that case, the
inspector probably would not know, nor would he/she be allowed to give such
information to the consumer even if they did know.

If the inspection was done in a garage where they can also fix the problems,
then they probably would have already told him what it takes to do the
repairs.

Hello, My Camry '97 just failed inspection. It is code P0401. 'Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Insufficient Detected.' Would you please give me your recommendations. Thanks, Talal Itani
