I had to smog my DD today and noticed this sign in the waiting room, which would be applicable to the 1976 914s. Tech says they pinch off the evap system (tubing and charcoal filter between the fuel tank and air filter box) and insert some kind of gas under low pressure to test the evap system, for leaks.
What other testing is required in your area, if any? Attached thumbnail(s) |

The answer is "no" unless you ask... Group: Members Posts: 1,184 Joined: 21-November 15 From: White Plains New York Member No.: 19,387 Region Association: North East States |
In New York we test 1996 thru 2014 currently for emissions, which is a plug into the obd2 connector. If the ses light and monitors are complete, you pass. Model year and 1 year old get a safety only as does 1995 and older.
Safety only is $10, Safety/emission $37. (pass or fail) Must be done every year. We also have a waiver clause in the system. If you spend $450 toward an emissions related repair, you pass and your good for a year. |
