I don't know anything about Cali, but these motors won't pass (high on HC and CO) without.

they usually check computer and sometimes a sniffer test. no cat = fail sniffer. plus if the light comes on and then goes off, it still probably has the code saved in the computer, which will show up if they scan

To reset the computer: Take off your battery cables and touch them together for 10 sec. Reconnect, and you should be reset!

You need to touch the cables together, after they are disconnected, to discharge any residual charges in the capacitors or other elements of the PCM.
