I have done a lot of modifications to my car... im almost certain my CEL is going to come on.... will most places fail the car even if the light is on?

Can't you erase it by unplugging the battery right before you go? In most cases it take a while for it to come back. And once erased they can plug anything they want, it won't show up..

I just brought my car in for inspection 2 days ago and here in NJ if you have a 98 model and up, they hook your car up to a computer and check for codes. They said that your code has to be cleared otherwise you will fail inspection. Hope that helps

>you will fail the visual. fix that code or you definately >will fail if the smog shop knows what they are doing
I did a little more checking into this... if the light is on while the test is being performed it will fail.... the only thing i'm worried about is the sensor inside the gas tank... I no longer have the stock gas tank i'm using a fuel cell... but other then that i am using the missing link...
