JL ws-6, I work at Amaral Motors in Newtown, exit 11 off I-84.

You're more than welcome to come down to have the car tested, but obviously I cannot guarantee you'r car will pass.

a/c system huh... mine's been removed. I can't see a car failing for removing the a/c system, that's kind of an odd one.


Im not too worried about it, we've got scanners and all that and can tell if there's anything that's coming up that would kick off a failure.... I only have one small issue to get rid of to get the thing to not throw any at all, I think it will be o.k.


I haven't gotten the letter for it yet, but I know it's coming.

I'm not even sure if the 4th gen F-bodys support an A/C moniter, so you may not have to worry about it at all, and even if they do, remember that you're alowed to have 3 moniters not set.

Haha, that reminds me of a personal STFU moment I had recently when I got my emissions done. I pulled up, scared as hell about what they were gonna do. I had to find a place that didn't have a ramp b/c of my awesome 1" clearance between my high flow cat and the ground. Anyway, the people come out of the shop and are asking what all I have done to it, blah blah. I'm like uhhhh, I'm tryin to get emissions here, not trying to tell you everything I've done to make it not pass. So, the emissions are about done and the guy sees my A/C canister isn't bolted down. So, he says "You should really bolt that down or it could rattle enough to cause a leak". So, I was about to say "Ha, no worries, I drained the A/C into the air a year ago, nothing is left in there, and even if there was, the belt hasn't been on for a year". Thank the Lord I immediately remembered to STFU, but I had already said "Ha, no worries...", so I added the first thing that came to my quick witted mind, ".....yea". And that was that. I ended up passing, but that just reminded me of that Thank the Lord for no more sniffer test in VA!

The rumor is that in '08 there will be no dyno tests, so pre OBD II cars will just get safety checks. This is, so far, a rumor, but many people working at inspection stations have heard it. The logic is that dyno tests are expensive, take a while, and each year there are fewer older cars on the road that need them.

Who knows what our "great" state will decide to do.

OBD /computer scan test. If they did the sniffer test/dyno test i would have failed.

As long as there is no check engine light I can get stickers done no problems! As for the part I read about being able to have 3 monitors not ready or fail. That is true for older cars (1996-98) I believe. Then it was down to 2 and now it is just 1. I forget the exact years they changed.
