Dilemma

Ok guys I don't where to post this so mods place this where need be. I have a problem on my hands. I have a 2003 SRT-4 that I'm going to trade in. My car arrived 2days ago at the dealer. My problem is the car is throwing a lean cel and cannot pass inspection. I have looked over it taken it to 3 places and they cant figure it out either. Should I just trade in the car this way?? I'm supposed to pick it up tonight.

Not sure if I am reading this right?

The new car (EVO) is throwing a check engine light? I would make them fix it. Hopefully they don't reset the ECU and you take the car and later that day it comes right back on and now your dealing with a headache with the dealership.....

there's many places in Queens and Brooklyn that'll just pass your car for you.

if the srt is throwing the code just reset the ecu right before you go to the dealer and hopefully it will take a while for it to come back on lol...

So none of you feel bad for the poor sap that might pick up the SRT? What if it was you? Then you'd be on here griping about how a dealership sold you a car with a CEL. Lame.... You should at a minimum tell the dealership about it so they don't get screamed at by the next guy.

Yes the SRT is bone stock. Sorry for not mentioning it earlier. So where are these places where I can get it passed?

How could it be bone stock with 398hp? Or did you just put it all back...

I think an idiot can answer your question. Obviously he went back to stock

That's what I was thinking, but I put it back to stock, and also put on all the parts myself. I looked over it and everything is fine, I just don't know what to do anymore, I really just want to give up and trade it in this way.
