Never left em stranded, never hesitated, doesnt smoke, leak or do anything strange… yet it has a evap leak, SAI doesnt turn on so I cant pass without putting work into it (which I dont have time for). > > Yet, i see rusted out 1993 honda civics, beat ass trucks and what not pumping oil out the tail pipe, smell like unburnt gas, driving NYS inspected right along side of me every day. What a facepalm. My dad said the same thing, we have a neighbor with a 2001 jeep that has no exhaust system and rusted to shit and a huge crack across the windshield, it has been that way since I moved here 2+ years ago. He still some how passes inspection with it. This is the first time I’ve lived in a state with inspection, it sucks. > [@Wearing seatbelts in the back seat?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wearing-seatbelts-in-the-back-seat/46072/41): > > O4 will have a large 10+ pin harness. It will not have the 4 pin harness only for the torque converter clutch like the older TV trans do. The northstar caddys use the 4T80E which I believe was only used with the N\*. If the wiring is bad it is probably inside the trans. The insulation on the wires can get brittle and crack causing shorts. > > If you drive the 30-50 miles it takes the car to complete most of the on board tests in 3rd gear. You will hate the fuel mileage but just maybe if the computer does not command TTC lock up that it wont detect a problem… Yeah I read a few guys online just reset the codes and popped in 3rd gear for a week and they passed inspection no problem. Car drives fine and he just finished paying it off, doesn’t really want to take the plunge into buying another right now, he wants to be enjoy not having a car payment for once in his life. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/nys-inspection/260874)._
