Aw man!
The blazer failed emissions yesterday, ( I guess I did not study enough for it.)
LOL, but on the brite side just barely, only failed on the hydrocarbons for the load. Also they said I needed the stock aircleaner for the air return (dumb), but thats what sucks about living in phoenix. ![]() |

Re: Aw man!

How far back do they test? Luckily they only go 25 years here.

Re: Aw man!
Time to move I guess. Is there a way you can have it exempted, such as licensing it as a collector vehicle?

Re: Aw man!
Shoot.. I tried to talk to the wife about buying a house up the road in another county, but it was a no go. With classic insurance I can get an exception, but it has to be worth a certain amount and as it is right now probably wont be eligible...

Re: Aw man!
I don't know much about the regulations, but I thought you could swap in a newer engine, but it must have all related emissions equipment that came on the vehicle the engine came from?

Re: Aw man!
up here it's about 20 years till a few back they changed the rules ,now i believe it's up to 87.....don't need an etest every two years,but stories are around town of emmission cops pulling over ppl for infractions like trucks with duals ...i've met a owner of a 78 corvette with headers and side pipes being fined as "modified "not factory".even tho she bought it like that and owned it 30 years.........but if you live 1/2 hour up the road (out of the city)any year no etests.
