1996 doge intrepid wont pass emission test because IM monitors ar

For those who research this problem (I have it too) the dealers know about it, but they don''t offer the solution unless you tell them you want the computer reprogrammed. Heard it costs $80 - $100 at dealer only. You could drive it forever, with no problems, no codes, but it will never complete the remaining tests. In Atlanta, GA area we have to spend over $400 each year without being fixed to get an exemption from the emissions test. Most fixes are permanent, but one tale of an every year thing. There was a TSB on the same motor and year but different model than Intrepid. Most of the country never even realizes its happening. Best advice is to take caution when buying the 96 Intrepid in a metro area which requires emissions testing. And shame on Chrysler! Found out all this after spending big bucks on new tranny. Runs great, but can't get tag until I can convince a Dodge dealer to just do as I ask and not to do other stuff to try to fix it. It can cost a bundle and there's really nothing wrong with the car at all. And they really hate a women telling them that they're wrong, the manufacturer is hiding the problem, and she's done her homework and knows exactly what needs to be done. They should be doing it for free, but with thousands made in each case, they don't even want to do the right thing. Anyone have a good contact with a dealer in Metro Atlanta area?
