What is it they are vouching you for, exactly?

Pretty ballsy to post that on a public forum.

What's the cutoff date for the electronic smog check vs the old style sniffer test? I know the newer cars just need to pass a visual inspection and to plug into the OBD2 port.

I don't see what is so "ballsy"

This is the California Smog Law(s) thread. Who better to ask than a California certified smog technician?

Any vehicles 1999 and older are still using the older BAR97. Everything 2000 and newer is an OBDII check on the new Data Acquisition Device (though it sounds like an easier test, it is actually a lot more difficult to pass).

So long as your car has the OEM cats, you should be fine.

Not if you are in CA, unless you get lucky on the visual.

I was talking about the sniffer, but yeah any reasonable tech will fail you on visual.

on the bright side, no more sniffer.

okay.. i'm going nuts. and i'm sure it's somewhere in this thread.. but where is the thread that says how which parameters to check off to pass the OBD-II smog check?? LOL

someone finally posted a combination that worked and i'm gonna need it soon.

sorry for being blind today LOL

Any vehicle that is model year 2000 an newer will need to have all monitors set, with the exception of the evap system, to pass smog.

yes, i know. there is a thread here, somewhere, where someone successfully passed CA smog with all necessary monitors "ready" via EcuFlash (some of us don't have an EGR, CAT, etc). i have been looking for two days and can't find it.
i had it saved to my favorites but that laptop died. bleh.

i have a place where i pass visually, but i have to pass the plug-in test.

2008 Evo X Apexi N1 turboback, FMIC, BOV, Upper and Lower, Boost controller, and a flashed ECU. How much am I going to have to take off to pass?
