My friends said if the car is 20 years old, you dont need emissions testings, so i figured you guys would know the correct answer to this question.

Anyone?

 

i know in NY it is 20 years..

anyone know about mass?

 

Sorry to tell you, but CT is 25 years old. I have one moretest on my 85 in April then never again.

 

Christian: In Mass right now 83 and back don't need emissions testing, but soon it should be 93 and back won't need it.. something to do with OBD-II...

 

In PA, you don't get tested if your car is OBD-I or older.

 

will it really be?! i hope so because my car fell on it's face yesterday at the emissions test.

 

They're getting rid of pre-OBDII emmissions in MA to reduce the cost of the equipment for inspection stations. But don't hold your breath, this isn't going to happen any time soon. I expect it to happen 3-8 years from now.

 

Well OBD-III will start in 2009 which will include satellite reading equipment for cars which may start to eliminate testing stations altogether.

Originally OBD-II was SUPPOSED to be satellite linked but it never made it that far.

OBD-I technically only was one year, 1995, everything pre 1995 was manufactuor specific.

 

Grrrr, i hate emissions
