Tried to get my e-test today

So I went to try and get my Camaro e tested today. I'm sorry to say that it didn't pass.

So I'm standing there with the garage owner and Taner askes him "so what is the worst reading that you've ever had".
Thanks buddy.

I think I won.

The guy testing the car said that he feels like he just came back from an amusement park. I'll take that as a compliment.

What is it with LS1's and failed emissions? I'll bring my failed emissions test report with me to Memphis and we can compare readings. For some reason I don't think my readings will be far off of yours.
Did you pass any of the tests or the curb idle?

Just pinch off the fuel line while it's running, or blow some compressed air up the tail-pipe while it's running on the dyno!!! Too bad the car isn't carbureted (or is it? ) otherwise you can always "fine tune" your air/fuel while the car is running on the dyno. Not that I know this from experience, but I just "heard" that it works .

So did they make you pay the ~$200 maximum repair bill and give you the license sticker?

I failed both idle and the cruise. I think that you won't be able to catch on that. The limit was 300 blah blah and I pegged just over 5000.

Roman I think the only trick that will work for you is to slip the emissions guy a c-note, or 2.
