All kinds of additions, like a fuel pump module, variable valve lift, wideband sensors... I'm not due to recertify for another couple years, but I kinda wish I WAS due so I could take this test!

Dunno if you do five-gas testing, but that was the only area I really needed help with, as Kansas has no emissions testing.

Yes I have, I just took a couple of recerts last year.

The place I used to work at a couple of years ago I used to do emission testing but most were obd2 tests. I will have to find a place to brush up on that. I don't do emission testing at my current place. I just mainly diag obd2 failures, the tire/lube boys do the actual testing.

CEL - Fail!
Unless the car is 15 years or older, then it's just safety.

Yeah, there's not many left that have zero testing, most at least have an OBD check I do sometimes wish we'd legislate at least safety testing, 'cause I KNOW there are people driving around with tie rods ready to pop.

I say if anyone is thinking about taking it, don't hesitate

Thanks,
I agree, didn't seem as difficult as hyped. But a good understanding of electrical systems and basic engine performance will help.

As for 5 gas. Just go through my Section or Chapter 5 lecture where I cover it (SD Premium). It's all you need to know about it.
Which gas is your rich indicator?
Which gas is your lean indicator?
What gases can you look at as a stand alone and know which side of stoich your on? Things like that I covered.
I forget what page of my book corresponds.
Don't be a parts changer!

That's the one I've got. I used the same site for the A6 and A8 study material. I've had good experiences with the Motor-age products.Ro-longo wrote: You will also need to know what causes excessive NOx on the composite vehicle and in general

Aww Hell, I'll give it a go. I need to just schedule a date. I'll be more motivated with a deadline.
Thanks for the encouragement Paul and Tyler
And congratulations on passing Ro-longo! I always stress the tests until I get in there and start answering questions.

I forgot about the $36 registration fee! I guess it's not bad if you're intending to take multiple tests, but I only ever schedule one at a time. Brings it up to $114 to schedule the test.
For that kind of money, they should come to my house and sew the patch on my coat for me!
Maybe the boss will split this one with me...
