As long as your car is not throwing a CEL, and all readiness codes are set in the ECU, you should pass.
what exactly is the "CEL Fix" ? |
You'll pass the emission part but you'll fail the visual inspection part.
Some mechanics are too lazy look or dont care but legally it would fail visual. |
yea i was about to say, you'd fail a visual test. and visual is usually quick and easy...as well as where people get nailed. Consider that other counties don't have emission testing, its only visual. When i bought my car i couldn't get it to pass emissions. no one ever knew there was a problem because where i bought the car they only did visuall.
btw how do you plan to pass emissions without a cat even without it throwing codes? codes or no codes, the emitted exhaust has a higher reading. There are 3 tests and let me tell you, from others I've spoken with our numbers are hella high/hard to pass.
i think you'd have it easier to find a mechanic who isnt too hard up on the numbers rather than a visual test. it's a lot harder to prove your car was illegally passed from an emission test than visual. If you ever got pulled over, what are the chances a cop is going to say let me see your emission testing print out? But he may just look under the car. Then you're screwed and so is the mechanic. |
I have seen a few places only go by the OBDII readiness codes and could care less about a visual...why? Because theoretically if the car was putting out higher than normal exhaust emissions, the ECU would see this on the secoondary o2 and throw a code causing a CEL and failure of your emissions test.
I would say talk to someone who knows of a place that just does the enhanced emissions test without a real visual and give it a shot.
