WA Emissions
Hey guys,
Quick question regarding emissions testing in Washington. According to this page , vehicles of MY 1996 and up weighing under 8500 lbs are only required to do an OBDII test, and not a sniffer. I'm sure a visual is done as well. So, technically, as long as we arent throwing a CEL, and have a cat, we should pass no problem right?

you need to read the next section:
1978 and newer gasoline vehicles over 8500 pounds Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) or any vehicle with constant 4x4 (all wheel drive) or traction control:
These vehicles will receive a two-speed idle test. The vehicle will not be driven on a dynamometer. The motorist will be instructed to reach required RPM levels while the vehicle idles in park or neutral (depending on the transmission or model-year type of vehicle). These vehicles also receive a gas cap test to verify that the gas cap seal is functional.
So, I'm thinking you're still getting it in the tailpipe to have your emissions read
