That testing makes me frown. There are tiny engines that may smoke to something imperfect, and still be 4 times less the consumption of a v8 that would pass. And EGR. the biggest suicide california ever came up with. honest to my own belief, I will never live in california with what I can just simply read with politics and cars. I hope someone gets rprecise about EGR origin..I would love a fact to put that on.

EGR's were developed for engines that had high combustion temperatures, nothing like some inhert exhaust gas to cool the combustion chamber down and drop NOx.

A while back, NY would just show up at a shop with a car that wouldn't pass and see if they could buy the inspection. If they did, you were shut down. Now in NY if you have a OBD II car it must be plugged into the testing equipment while running the rollers. If it's pre-1996 then there's a camera mounted on the testing machine that records the tech running the test from pulling it onto the rollers until backing it off.
