Inspection Problems: OBD II 1997 Protege ES
 

Right so I've bought the Protege, registered him, and had my 10 days to get him inspected. I was happy, driving Brody around. But when I went in for inspection I had a problem.

Everything with the physical inspection went fine, however for some unknown reason, the 5 OBD II readiness sensors keep reading Not Ready. Now I've driven it for a couple days, and even did the drive cycle test on it and for whatever reason, the damn thing just will not pass the tests. The previous owner had NO problems whatsoever.

Now I'm wondering if there is a master tech here who might know what the problem is or how to fix it. I'd do it at the dealership I got it from, however there is a snag. The master tech there is sore because I got it from under him (he wanted it something awful) and I"m worried he'll pull a "O well it'll cost like $1,000. Better sell it to me so you can save yourself the hassle." and I wanted a second opinion before I asked him.

I find it hard to beleive that the sensors aren't ready and you are not getting a check engine light. Do you have your own code reader?? If not go get one so you can read the codes yourself. That may help you straighten it out. They are not expensive.
