Photo Finally passed emissions test (Maryland)!!
After 6 years of having the SES light and CHECK FUEL CAP light on, all issues have been addressed and my GT has once again been able to pass the state emissions inspection.
It all started after the fuel pump was replaced in January 2020. Then for a while, it was just non-stop part swapping and eventually the shop I had it at couldn't get the necessary parts. By that time though, the car became eligible for Historic status which eliminates the emissions requirement for the vehicle. I got the Historic tags in 2024, but the state laws changed in mid-2025 which took away the Historic eligibility. So upon renewal this year, I had to go back to regular tags and go back to regular emissions testing (every 2 years).
After taking it to another shop, they were able to perform the needed repairs and get rid of the codes it was throwing. I've got a practically brand new emissions system in this thing now.
Sorry...seems ridiculous in the grand scheme of things, but this has been mildly frustrating for the past few years. Now maybe I can get some other bits and pieces addressed.
