Emissions Questions So I've been gettin my stickers on post for nearly half a decade, and now I have to get my car smogged. I'm in the DFW area and I hear they do sniffer among the usual OBDII stuff. My codes are straight via my trust laptop and HPTuners, but I'm thinkin the Kooks under my hood just won't cut it. Anybody had any experiences in the DFW area where they've had some luck? Or do most people just not care?

Did they do the sniffer because of not having the OBDII tester?

I was reading the website and it listed a whole buncha **** on there, including exhaust emissions systems, which roughly translates into the sniffer test. so....anyone know any friendly stations around grapevine or dfw? TTT!!

I just got my car inspected and my computer wasnt reading, so they had to use the sniffer on my car and I failed. But I told them that my cig. fuse was probably out and it was. So they replaced it and ran it through the computer again. It passed.

2-24 years only are emissions inspected
96 and newer obdII
95 and older ASM (dyno with sniffer)
95 older with gvwr greater than 8500 TSI (2 speed ilde with sniffer)
part of the inspection is a saftey inspection. You are supposed to have all emissions items that came on the car among lights and what not.
there there is the emissions part of the test, the emissions computer is hooked to the dlc and checks monitor readiness
just because you dont have codes doesnt mean your going to pass.
