so now its only at idle? lmao thatll be easy to pass

 

[James]

The following vehicles are exempt from vehicle emissions tests:

• Vehicles of model year 1995 or before that were in compliance with the Illinois Vehicle Emissions Inspection Law on February 1, 2007;

I've had my vehicle registrations suspended on about 5 cars, my driver's license suspended twice, was handcuffed to what motorswaps I could put in, had to sell cars because they wouldn't pass.....
All I gotta say, it's about fucking time- the sky is the limit now.

If you're OBD-II....my apologies. :fawkd:

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

holy shit!!!!! open headers on the camaro for sure now. that really opens it up to alot of pollution lol

yet another advantage of owning an AWD car. emissions facilities arnt equipped w/ awd rollers. my car passed perfectly last year and im completely catless. they just hooked the scanner up, put the sniffer on it and gave it a couple good revs, saw that it didnt throw any codes, and moved it thru. Now...if they had done a VISUAL inspection, i woulda been screwed. but most people are too lazy for that thankfully

[James]

I simply made a thread about it- deal with it.

 

[Mickey]

[James]

Yep. Someone needs a hug.

emissions? what's that?

 

[DarkShadow]

fuck, i forgot my alero is up for emissions before i can renew, FUCKKKKKKKKKK

anyone know if theyll fail it with the following lights on: Service Vehicle Soon, Trac Off, Anti-Lock, Low Tire Pressure.....

all of its related to a bad wss on the pass side, the Service ENGINE Soon light isnt on tho

 

[Mickey]

Its just stuff that can harm the environment.

 

[Stink Star]

i have a 96 with no cats and a bottle of nitrous mounted in the hatch clearly visable... i pass every time. you just gotta make sure the MIL isnt lit up and the computer is ready to test. very simple with some tuning.

as long as your SES light isnt on then they could care less. i passed with the GTP and i didnt have a CAT and in its place i had a cut-out. i also dont have an EGR. took all of 2 minutes and i passed.

Back when i first got the buick i got regular plates and it needed to be tested. its got a hurst ratchet shifter in it and i had to sit in the passenger seat because the guy couldnt get it out of park/neutral. all he did was a sniff at idle and i passed with flying colors..... how i dont know...

 

[James]

the Service ENGINE Soon light isnt on tho

Yeah, you're fine.
That maintenance "Service Vehicle" light is the biggest crock of shit. You should be able to reset it on your own- check your manual.

its not a maint light, gm cars dont have 2 seperate lights, the ses is anything wrong with the engine and controls for it and the svs is for other problems with the vehicle such as my wss failure

 

[James]

Gotcha. I'm too used to import cars that will light up "maintenance" every 3K to 7.5K miles, just to get people to worry and take it in to the dealer.

 

[Fish]

Unplug the battery. That will reset the light. However if it is a constant problem, the light will come back on after a few drive cycles.

 

[Primalzer]

Don't live near chicago during the school year, so my emissions got waved for the next 2 years anyways! Thank god though, I had like 5 different CEL's that would keep coming back because of stupid winter. My car doesn't like the winter or the gas, once March rolls around all of the CEL's are gone and don't come back until like late November. IDK why

welcome to last year.
