the "emmissions" test is pretty simple. cars 99-01 will pass if there are no check engine codes present in the computer, or its memory. Along with that your computer has different monitors, you can fail up to two monitors and still pass.
on 01-up everything is the same except you can only fail one monitor. no sniffer or nothing

it also checks the readyness, u can't just turn off a code/light and expect it to pass, it checks for drivecycles after the light was shut off

I guess It would depend on the shop. We still have to do a Visual to check for all installed emissions parts. Here's a quick note FYI. Alot of the shops have started to become **** about stuff, mine included. At my shop you would not pass. Later John

Thanks for the info guys. And to James99ws6 for pointing out my typo,,,,

I found the answer on the NYS DMV website.

http://www.nydmv.state.ny.us/broch/c-50.htm

One quote from the site...

"The inspection station is required to advise the Customer about the OBD check results, but cannot fail the vehicle's inspection based on those findings."

NY metro area, long island, westchester and rockland counties all still have the sniffer, until they officially start the NYVIP OBD-II testing program, April 1, 2005. Upstate NY is currently running the OBD-II test as of Dec 1.

If you use a shop with a decent guy you might get away with it. The Place where I go said he wouldnt have a prob as long as he can do a quick visual and see that there are cats there.Its time for me to go to the junk yard and get some converter covers.
