My Sti "didn't pass" smog this morning It didn't fail or pass, it was just showing that it had recently been reset and the tests had not finished running so it throws a system error. The guy explained to me you "WERE" allowed 3 errors until recently, now you are allowed 1 system error. I had a Check engine light P 0420 that keeps coming back, and I cleared it before I headed up there...so I didn't drive it enough before testing.

Fortunately...He had one machine running the old rules which will pass a car with 3 errors, so he swapped it over, ran it again and it was allowed to pass. Really cool guy, it's who I always go see right by my house.

Anyway, moral of the story, I need to get these check engine lights fixed, hopefully Mike can come to Reno sometime in the next year. There's no use in going to the Bay because it seems like the problem is not visible down there. I don't know anyone else with access to Ecutek.
