Those with ODBII cars 96+ years. to test are they sniffing, ODBII check or both?

need to know. I have heard some do sniff and some don't. I've heard some do BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pre 96 cars are NOT ODBII and must be sniff tested.

thanks
robert

I asked at one of the gas stations by me and they just use the ODBII check. I'll get the name of the station tomorrow, it in a shopping center.

Rob,
OBDII check only unless it throws a code, then sniff test.

I go to a mechanic who is married to my assistant
It's the AMERIGO gas station on Franconia road across from the Franconia police station and slightly east of the DMV. On the westbound side. Jim is a great guy.

very friendly guy who will work with you to get you by.

I got my car "drunk" to pass. the stroker lsv rolled in with a pig rich cal, rowdy cams, and he ran it through a couple times to get it hot so I could just sneak by one point under.

car would be off the chart without the alchy

nice mid eastern fella, amand or amar, very good to work with, you need a good ride to get it and the cats hot anyway!!
