Reverting to Stock Problem (ap v1 )
I have to bring my car to get smogged tomorrow so i've been trying to revert the car back to stock with my cobb v1
The car currently has a stage 2 tune (06 wrx) but it now has all the stock parts back on.
I tried reverting it to stock, but it just keeps going through this endless loop of asking me to turn the car off and then on. It says it is initializing the ecu and then it goes back and tells me to turn the car off and on. Its in an infinite loop of doing this and now the car doesnt start.
What do i do? i need the car for tomorrow, I really need it to start right now

A car that won't start wont produce any emissions, so you are good to go! j/k. Good luck man, those APs can be tricky, similar thing happened to me, I just kept trying and finally she fired up, doesn't sound like the problem was as severe though...

I spaced on the green connectors, that was the problem. I think thats the only problem but i won't be able to check until later.
100 miles before smog? is that how long it takes for the car to learn the map or something?
Unforunately i wish i could just leave it alone and smog it, but i was told that at least 5 of the 7 sensors for smog control or something need to be on and right now I was told that they only have 4 of 7 on right now. There was something wrong with the smog pump, so thats the extra one that isnt on.
At least, this is the case right? I don't think i would pass smog with the stage 2 tune even with the stock catted dp, or would I?

yes, it needs roughly 100 miles.... 100 miles is just making sure that they are all done with out taking a scan tool to it to find out if all the readiness monitors are working properly..

what about the smog monitors, does anyone know about what should be turned on? or does it not matter as long as there is no cel?
the guys at FLI mentioned something about at least 5 of the 7 smog system monitors needing to be turned on in order to pass

Miles @ FLI hopefully solved it, I have an appointment for wednesday but i might make it sooner. He built me a smog map real quick, everything is running except the smog pump (which doesnt matter). Thats what was throwing the codes
