As the title states, I have a 1996 OBD2 vehicle with a GEN3 swap, and I need to get it inspected. The shop tried plugging in to the OBD2 port, but it would not communicate with the state software. What are my options? Is there a wiring fix, would a standalone help? I am sure I am not the first person trying to inspect an OBD2 car with a JDM engine in NJ. I hope there is an easy fix here.

Swap in an OBD-II 5S-FE to have it inspected, then swap back to the 3S-GTE afterwards. What most people do since the 3S-GTE ECU is JOBD and a standalone won't be OBD-II compliant either. That or if inspections are a problem for OBD-II vehicles they swap an OBD-I car instead. Being you're new it sounds like someone sold you their car after they figured out they wouldn't be able to get it inspected.
