Re: Looking for advice on passing sniff test
We have the same tests here in MD, on a dyno.
I usually make sure the air cleaner is good and do an oil change. I just had my van done Thursday. Passed OK. I hate those danged inspections, another way for the state to get more money. Cost $14. Have to do it every 2 years.

Re: Looking for advice on passing sniff test
You should make sure your car is tuned. Not sure what year your car is but here if its OBD II they just plug into the computer and check for codes. If earlier they run it on the dyno.

Re: Looking for advice on passing sniff test
Heres a few things that got me through. Run high octane gas like 93, a can or two of HEAT helps, make sure your car is HOT, drive it for atleast 30 minutes before the test and dont shut it off before the test if possible. if your not running cats you may be in trouble anyway, were i live they check for cats before the test. Good luck.

Re: Looking for advice on passing sniff test
My gawd, I'm glad I live in Ohio. We're a "run what ya brung" state. We don't have ANY of that. On the downside, there are more than one REAL junkyard candidates still on the road.
That REALLY sucks, I feel bad for you guys! Seriously!

As mentioned above, later cars don't need to be run on the dyno, they just plug into the computer to get the reading.
