No idea what states you're referring to but I have vehicles registered in two states (WA and AZ) and they're both phasing out emission testing.State to state smog testing is continuously evolving and becoming more stringent. Delete may devalue your vehicle for future sale.
That depends on "if" the state patrol can figure out if the vehicle was modified and tampered with.And this is what linked page says :
Tampering with emissions controls is illegal in Washington. The Washington State Patrol and local police can ticket vehicles that are a threat to public safety.
The most polluted place in California is probably Central Valley. Mountains from the East and the West, no breeze... Lived there in the 90s just north of Fresno in Madera County.If they consider the issue important - they will.
That happen in California, where for 25 years I drove diesels with smog exempt.
Than few years back they start making the inspections and grandfathered the requirement back to 1998 models. That IMHO was triggered by pickup owners modding their truck to "roll the coal" Bad luck I drove 1998 Mercedes diesel at the time.
Washington state has low population, lot of forest and they only dense area - Seattle is along the coast, where lot of breeze carry smog away, so their explanation make sense. But each time I drive there and follow older pickup on Oregon highway, I am getting headaches, so either I pass it fast, or give it 1/4 mile space.
My statement was in response to a post about testing, nothing to do with legality.And this is what linked page says :
Tampering with emissions controls is illegal in Washington. The Washington State Patrol and local police can ticket vehicles that are a threat to public safety.
And even if not eliminating emissions testing completely, most states are moving to OBDII vs. tailpipe/dynamometer testing due to expense. If there is no MIL light and the OBDII readiness monitors are closed and there are no obvious modifications to the vehicle then you pass.No idea what states you're referring to but I have vehicles registered in two states (WA and AZ) and they're both phasing out emission testing.
That's because The Green New Deal Nazi's can now monitor vehicle emission performance remotely.No idea what states you're referring to but I have vehicles registered in two states (WA and AZ) and they're both phasing out emission testing.
There will always be ways around it... When encrypted EDC17 ECUs first came out, they were a big and difficult problem for the tuners, but with time ways/methods were developed to overcome the encryption.That's because The Green New Deal Nazi's can now monitor vehicle emission performance remotely.
Coming soon... vehicle out of emission compliance, your vehicle is turned off until emission issue corrected. Sorry.
Cherry blossoms and dandelions?Exactly
So doing a pre-purchase check.
Emissions cab check is CEL operational? or
Has it had "the LED lobotomy"? BIG FIRST Alert !!!
Operate scan tool for CEL operation
Scan for codes & sensor data activity especially exhaust, EGR & after treatment activity working yes or no!
Listen for the exhaust tin box racket--system hollowed out ?
Signs of tuning like EGR stuck at 6%?
Open the hood look for obvious signs of tampering like cooler lines diverted
Get under the rig do "de tump" test on the DPF/Cat with a toffee hammer! Rings like a bell or dull thud
Do the same with the SCR Cat present not NOT!
Is it replaced by the Texas flutie thingy ? Oh me gawd! No pass! no way Jose!
Hanging sensors Hanging or deleted No way Jose!
Thrash it up the street looking for 75% NOx reduction & BP figures
So will it pass Muster ?
And if its a
Don't ask me to present it to my mate Dave who is the E tester and insult our collective intelligence because he and his gang is going to do it all over again plus a rolling road gas E test on top!
So is it an MB thoroughbred or a Texas knobbled Nag?
Oh Lor!
Dennis
PS Oh you want it to pass a Colorado E test? Got Dollars /Billete verde
Hi Dima, i bought a 2007 Sprinter W906 and it is missing both DPF and Catalysator. Now i ordered Kess from China to turn my DPF off. My ECU is “edc16cp31” so is it easy to do? Maybe witg DPF remover programm? And would you suggest to tune my Sprinter and Stage 1? Can it be done with Titanium or do i need professional guys to edit the ECU file?I would not pay more than $50-60 dollars for modifying EDC17 ECUs. For EDC16 ECUs, I would not pay a single penny.
Another Texas Nag in the making I see in this thread !Cherry blossoms and dandelions?
