Today's the day my car's going into a Ford dealership to see if they can track down why the computer is not recording any emissions data. Will they find what's wrong? If so, what will it be? How much will it cost? I will likely find these things out as the day unfolds, so read and bear witness to my car's moment of truth:
8:08am - They called to inform me that they're going to approach this as they would an engine light problem: by "pulling the codes" from the computer. This should run me "ninety four, ninety five". Currency or units left unspecified. Notes: Intentionally?
10:03am - I haven't heard back yet. Growing nervous. What's labor/hr? Problem is likely to be either something simple, or something complex and hard to track down. As time passes, I'm suspecting and fearing the latter.
1:31pm - I hope my car is faring better than my nerves. At least the weather is beautiful, so the walk home won't be so bad.
1:56pm - A Call! They had the same problem. They took it on a road test. It came back passing emissions. I have my emissions sticker. Don't know why it wasn't reading before. $105.82
9:36pm - It's good to have my car back. I'll have to go Saturday to pick my inspection sticker up, and hopefully close the book on this stupid chapter of what's supposed to be a fine summer.
