    Hey Illinois, I'm assuming that some of you have had your emissions tested and I was wondering if there was anything "special" that I should know about. I recently purchased a 360 (Aug. '13) and just received a notice to get tested by July. Everytime I sit in the car waiting for my wife I usally shut it off then I have to figure out how many clicks I need to start it up again. Do you just wait in line with your engine running? What about when the guy says get out of the car and he tries and re-starts it? Does he know to wait until it says "OK"?

    OBDII testing only. If everything checks in OK, your out of the facility in 5 minutes. You will probably have to restart for them. They won't know to disarm.

    Well passed my test but traffic was so slow it took forever to get there. I was worried cause the "Slow Down" light came on for a second! But all was good. I asked very politely if he knew how to start it and he just looked at me. Told me to go into the little booth - then when he couldn't get it started he called me out. I tried to explain about the engine immobilizer and he just kind of stared at me.
