E Check

Anyone else out there have to put up with this shit?,I've been able to
duck it for 2-3 years because of my newer Ion,'03,got a noice in the
mail to tell me I'm up for a test,my b'day is in May,they must be
sending out notices earlire than they used th yea,I live in
N.E.Ohio,the epicenter of emission chaos.

 

Pretty much everyone. I just moved to NJ from NY. NJ's DMV website
doesn't tell you ANYTHING about what's tested or how, just the typical
boilerplate about how great I should feel about having my car abused on
a dyno...

Some places are finally going to just a trouble code scan on newer cars,
i.e. they scan your car with a scan tool and no codes = pass. I think
NY and NJ do it.

Oh yeah, keep fighting the state run center crap. People in CT did and
they closed them and went to a more rationale system as a result. Under
current law (Congress finally put their foot down in the mid 90's), test
and repair and test only stations are considered equally effective.
IIRC, NY state was going to go test only, but the backlash and change in
law stopped it...
