Car inspection?

[Zw4nzig]

My Accord is out of inspection (In fact, I don't even have stickers)

It doesn't pass if I take it down to your every-day garage, due to a CEL (Bad O2 sensor), emissions failure, etc.

Basically, I need to get it inspected (TO beat a lack of stickers ticket, and to avoid iti n the future) so if anyone has advice on how to get it done, or can do it, lemme know!

Thanks!

Buy an o2 sensor?

fix it. dont be a cheap skate.

your pocket will be happy its fixed, CEL + bad o2 = bad gas mileage.

What year is it? Why dont you just replace the o2, sure they cost like 100+ from the dealer but it will save you gas.

If its a 1990 the CEL will not cause the car to fail as long as it can pass the 50/15 dyno test.

What happens if you pay off a no-inspection ticket? Do they do anything to your car, or cut you on your way until you get caught again?

nope, they will just give you another ticket. i know from experience. they COULD possibly tow your car if it is deemed unsafe.

next time if its the same people they'll prob tow your car. I just got mine done yesterday, if you fail and spend at least $150 on improvements( mine was cat converter, spark plugs, and air filter was like 156.34 total with tax) and fail a second time they can waive it for $30. so i spent $70 on first inspection, $150 on parts, $30 on the waiver and now im inspected and good to go. i would not have ever passed any emissions test i was pretty far off for just all limits. all together it was $270 to get it inspected, depending on whether i can return the $100 converter without receipt or not it may have only been $170. the second test is free if you fail the first time.

Nice! What state can you do that in?

[dubjinc]

Pa.....!

[twastheglow]

Damn! That's nice. NY certainly doesn't do that.
