they passed my 91 bmw with the check engine light going on and off.. matter of fact it said it needed an oil change and "brake lining" (on the dash) and it passed.

96+ is a plug in test generally speaking. 95 and older is a tailpipe test. check engine lights 99.9% of the time will fail you in the 96+, 95 and older doesn't matter.

Quick question:
My ex's car is up for inspection shortly. She asked me if the interior LEDs (blue) will be a problem for her at inspection. My gut tells me no, but I just thought I'd ask here before doing anything unnecessary.

no, unless its raising your tailpipe emissions to the point you'd fail

could you expand on that? are they always on? where are they? it really depends on the inspector though

Sure thing. They are LED replacement bulbs, in place of the factory map lights & dome light. They function just as stock, and only come on when a door is opened or if they are manually switched on to find something, otherwise, they are off while the doors are closed.

Would you fail inspection for having a gutted car. My car currently has no interior other than the driver seat, pass seat and seat belts.

Sharp edges is the 1st thing that comes to mind. Especially if there are no door panels.

Don't argue with me, I have no say. The question is why and I told you one potential reason. Mike already stated it might happen, based on experience. BMXr is right, it is probably dependent on the inspector. If you fail you put it back in and go back.

Get inside the car and have a friend flood each panel with a garden hose until you've found the source of the problem. Mine was in the driver's side rear quarter panel, if it helps.

Oh the fun!

Hey guys,

Just as a update, PIFs (private insp facilities) are now using the new system just like the MVC lanes. We went online with the system this past monday. Just a few things you all should know.

You fail, once. Under the old system if you waited more then 45 days after failing it forced on you a full inspection. This benefited some people as it allowed them to have emission repairs done by a shop not authorized to do them, clear a MIL and hope it did not come back on, or having a car inspected before the monitor that tripped the MIL ever ran all without having to submit paperwork on who/when/why the car was repaired. This is a thing of the past. Even cars that failed a year ago on the old system are comming up as still failed on the new. Nothing gets a full inspection unless its the first time. Cars need to be fixed.

Any PIF or CIF can also pull up your last VIR with just your vin now. You all can do this too by going to this url. http://njvir.appsolgrp.com:8010/VIRP.../virSearch.jsf

Could possibly come in handy for buying a used car too? idk figured I would post it up.

I got a few more things to share, but I need to run to work now. Talk to you all later!

Eah what? I failed under the old system for emissions, fixed the car, lost the paperwork, came back for inspection under the new system and passed w/o the paperwork...he just put in vehicle repaired by motorist and it didn't ask for anything. So this confuses me?

ok, my question. Bigal told me yes, and while I don't doubt him I just want to be sure...

Does the horn have to be on the steering wheel, or can it be a button on the dash?

as long as you have a functioning horn that is all that matters. where the button is, no big deal. Ford thunderbirds in the 80's has the horn on the turn signal stalk, you had to push the stalk into the column to make the horn work (dumb, but ford, what do you want?)

My dad used to have a VW Bus and his horn failed, so he rigged up a button and passed.

As long as its not a micro switch hidden under the dash you should be fine.
