AHhh.
thats the kicker..
went to Inspector Quick, over off of the South bound side of the Beltway, at Spencer.

they are pretty strict there, seeing how thats all they do.
figure if I can pass there I can pass anywhere.

your guys' smog checks reminds me of prt test in the military. except twice a year. pass one and your good for 6 months and the whole time you feel as though a weight has been lifted off your chest. at least i did. i was/am rather healthy. lol

to some degree.
They hook up to your PCM..
If no codes have been thrown with in 500 miles, and everything checks with the PCM. (O2's sensors, and other emission sensors, ) Then they pass. you..
this is the first time I have had the truck inspected with the 112LSA cam in it..
this is for 97 and newer vehicles..
anything older and without the OBDII and it gets sniffed.
so yes John thats exactly what it felt like.... and it kept getting heavier, and heavier as the last day of April came around..... wheeww.!!!!
