how to avoid going for emission test.I live in ilinois.
I styl have a loan on the car.help

 

You can't avoid emission test.

 

lol. you wont pass emissions.. pay off a smog person..

 

when you buy a new car,how long it takes till they send you a letter for emission

 

Its 3 years untill your first test. I just took my van in for testing.They simply plugged it into the odbII reader and checked for codes. Pass. No sniffer test unless its a 1995 or older. Keeping your car a sleeper helps alot too.

 

thanks schuller.........

 

Should the car pass as long as there aren't any codes being thrown?

 

since when does Illinois test for smog? I grew up in illinois and I never had to smog my car. This must be a new thing cause i used to drive an 82 chevy malibu classic with dual exhaust, straght from the engine, no cats what so ever. Stupid global warming!!!

 

Not a smog test in IL, just the normal emmission testing

 

Ohhhh, ok. I must've mis-read.

 

Exactly
