You must have the original equipment in place and working properly. Aftermarket stuff must be C.A.R.B. legal.

-Cat convertor
-EGR system
-Timing set to spec
-No check light on (except when they test for a good bulb)
-Evaporation canister & system
-Vacuum lines in place and routed properly
-No BIG holes in the exhaust or muffler
-No fuel leaks
-No BIG liquid leaks (oils, coolant, etc)
-No obvious signs of tampering (like disconnected stuff)
-Good gas cap (new ones cost $6)


Also, make sure its running good, and won't overheat during the test. Make sure the brakes work.
