Failed emissions testing...twice! Need Help!
As the title says guys...I failed twice and it wasn't because of a check engine light or not having any exhaust.
The car has been out of the shop for a while but I do not drive it often. The car failed the test because it said too many of the testers were inactive still. The most common case of this is that the battery has been disconnected and has not had enough time to start the testers back up.
My question, is HOW MANY MILES/HOURS DO I NEED TO WAIT till I can re-test it? My stupid plate has expired and I cannot get it renewed until I pass the emissions test.
I have put on about 100+ miles since the first test, went to retest it and it failed again. I do not drive the car that much. It still is just at 7,6XX miles.
Any help would be appreciated,
