The stations have a book that list what is supposed to be on that vehicle, there is also a number you can call for info 1-800-265-0921. Since the state no longer inspects/controls inspection stations, it¡¦s been farmed out to a private company, things are an even bigger mess.


From the DEP Web site:
Visual Check
What is a Visual Anti-Tampering Check?
The Visual Anti-Tampering Check is a visual inspection for the presence of emission control components that were installed on your vehicle by the manufacturer.
How is a Visual Anti-Tampering Check performed?
A certified technician will look for the presence of the following emission control devices:
„h Catalytic converter
„h Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve
„h Positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve
„h Fuel inlet restrictor
„h Air pump
„h Evaporative control system components such as vapor canisters and lines.
The certified technician will also determine if these devices are properly connected and if they are the correct type for the vehicle being inspected.
vehicles driven under 5000 miles annually may qualify for an exemption sticker.
