can you pass emissions testing in washington without all the hoses and vacuums and crap? or is this stuff absolutley required?

thanks

 

im sure you would probably fail the visual inspection before you ever got to the sniffer test

 

so if you dont have a bunch of bull hoses they wont even test it? im guessing having a rebuilt engine dosent matter either...

 

What year truck/engine?

 

1987 pickup with a rebuilt 22r

 

I would guess you're gonna have to do a visual and sniffer test, so you at least need it to LOOK like it's all installed.

Technically, if your cat is good and the engine is in proper tune, it should pass the sniffer no problem.

 

sweet. i did my test last month and passed with flying colors so i will need another in two years. so if i take the stuff off now and save it how hard is it to put back on, or at least make it look like its on?

 

did they actually do a visual inspection on yours? I just did mine and i did too passed, but they didn't do the visual inspection.

 

Nope.

 

couple things:
without the 'vacuum hoses', your egr valve will not work, your charcoal canister purge won't work... your distributor advance / retard won't work...

 

In Washington all we have is the sniffer and gas cap test. Your car can be a rust bucket held together with twine and duct tape and no working lights and as long as it passes those two test you'll be fine.

 

Abe doesn't know what he's on about. Why don't you clip all the hoses and find out if you need them or not?

Toyota's, unlike Jeeps, aren't the result of a tornado going through a junk yard- all the parts on your truck were put there for a reason.

 

 

I thought that was the Humvee/Hummer?

 

A hummer is like a tornado? that explains why they blow.

 

I suppose you could say that about Hummers too, and Chvey, and Ford.

 

...

lol

 

Hence the name........HUMMER

 

wait...
so now they suck?

 

you may check with your state regs; your truck is over 20 yrs old, and may not even have to pass the sniff test, as in it is grandfathered in.
