Pennsylvaina depends on where you live. Around the major cities you have to have the "Enhanced" emissions tests, which on cars 1996 and newer the run has to be runnig and they plug the state CPU into the OBDII port under the dash. If the SES light is on, automatic fail, that's just for emissions.

For safety, the wheels are pulled, all 4, unless the shop knows your car, then they'll just pick 2, lights, wipers, brake lights, t/s, horn, even the license plate light and fog lights. If it's aftermarket lights, even they have to work.

The cost varies from shop to shop, but usually it's around $80 for both inspections.

Out in the sticks, They don't do emissions, or it's a different test, don't know what it really entails. It all depends on what county the car is reg'ed in.

Cars 1975 to 1995, have to run at 15 MPH on a dyno with a probe in the tail pipe for 5 mintues. It measures the CO levels and 7 other fumes that the car emits. The Delta never passed this. I put "Classic" plates on it, which was $97 compared to the regualer $36 for reg fees, but the $97 is one time, it's permantet until the car is in the junkyard. Classic is 15 years and older, Antique is 25 years and older, and the car cannot be driven over 5000 miles in a year. All this makes it emissions exempt.

Any car driven less than 5000 miles a year is also emissions exmept, but only for one year, under 7500 in 2 years, makes the car exempt for 2 years. After that, Emissions testing has to be done.

Emission exmept cars are $33 to pass inspection
