Thank you, Made In Japan ! That is really a wonderful idea. I'm going to do it, without a doubt! I'm calling BEFORE I even go out the door and head down there. The State has special smog shops that specialize on trouble shooting. People that come up as "Gross Polluters" and ones that have ...

Hooray ! I found Schedule J ! http://www.rlescalambre.com/APPENDIX_J.htm Looks like I might be eligible for getting a smog test without having to go through the driving procedures or even being hooked up to the OBD II. I'm not sure of what taking the following action means . . . "OBD II Testabi...
