And,my '91 'vette just failed..BARELY on the hydrocarbons part,only. By a couple points. So,I need to get that one in for some fine tuning. It passed O.K. the last time. I think that they changed the numbers,or something,this year. But,the cat is burned up on that car. It gets REALLY HOT,and you can smell a burning "carbon" smell when I drive it. It needs a new exhaust anyway. the old "Y-pipes" are rotted through,from lack of driving since I got the Ferrari! Oh well! |

Yes,they did put it up on the Dyno last time,but,just let it idle,first,and it passed Right away. So,the test was over,and I was able to put the hammer back down on the piece that I had in my back pocket(JUST KIDDING!!!!)And,I didn't have to watch them rip through the gears at high speeds on the dyno....probably would've had a heart attack,or something! So,since I only put a couple thousand miles on since then,expect about the same. I'm not TOO upset...Yet! |

Frank-
Did they put your car on the dyno?
If so, request a stand-alone static test. You drive the car, and it doesn't get dynoed. |

Be happy you had a three year break. Chicago is every two years. Good luck!
My mechanic told me some horror stories from Ferraris, that didn't make it through the test. Not good. Gotta be nice to those cats. At least for now. |

Well,I just got an emissions test notice in the mail for the Ferrari. It's going to be the 2nd time,now,sine I've owned it. Wonder how that can be? I bought the car in January of 2001. And,this January 2004,will be 3 years since I've had her. Oh well...gotta do it. But,just like last time. I am sitting in the passenger seat! |
