Fairfax County General :
Fairfax Underground
Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
2) An instant $50 parking ticket every time I park at the Metro.
3) A repair bill of $500 or $2000 and it's unknowable which one it will be.
4) All this time risk another citation for expired tags as I drive to the DMV to renew my registration and get my stickers, or while I wait 15 days for my stickers to arrive.
Why did I move to this redneck state and its retarded vehicle laws?

OK here is how to pass emissions. Search online for Virginia Rapidpass locations, which are drive by emissions monitoring. Get up plenty of speed, shut the engine off, and coast by the emissions sensors. This will give you zero tailpipe emissions when you coast by. Drive by the sensors 2 or 3 times.
Then go to the website and click the button "Am I clean" to pay for the emissions.

That will not work due to insufficient sample. Luckily though they are pretty lax and you can pass without any cats at all of you do it right. Cats operating below efficiency should be easy to get a pass on, especially if there are multiple.

How fucking stupid are you?! Did you never grow out of your 12 year old ass?! GET YOUR SHIT TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE THE LAST MINUTE, it's funny how all of the people on this site bitching about rules are actually muslim men that can't be defied!!!
If your car requires a repair range from 500-2000, you drive a Nissan Altima or a 1990's Dodge caravan.

I know exactly why it's not passing. I have a reader with reset function. I know what part is failing and I don't have $1,000 laying around or $75 for the part plus an acetylene torch to repair a car that I'm going to ditch in a couple of days.

I never said I was smart.
Most non-slave states have 30-day grace period if the emission test fails. It's only redneck states in Dixie that have this bullshit rule with no grace period because they want to extract as much revenue as they can from honest people who make honest mistakes.
Of course the web site says to check emissions way before the sticker says you need to, but the letter I received in the mail says nothing of the kind. I guess I wasn't smart enough to dig through a web site to find a life protip instead of reading something that should be clearly stated on the letter.

Piss off? Take your british jew ass somewhere else. If you failed an inspection there is a grace period. IF you need a grace period when you have an annual remind in your face every fucking day, you might as well suck a dick every hour before you get to fuck some pussy you faggot ass bitch.

No, you dumb fucking cunt. There is no grace period for emissions failures when it comes to vehicle registration renewals.
I literally said that in the first post of this thread. Are you just stupid, or are you an actual retard?
Learn how to read, you fucking idiot. Take a break from choking down black cocks in the Springfield Mall parking lot and pay attention, you faggot. Your mom smoked crack on 14th Street while pregnant with your dumb ass.
I'm shocked you're even capable of typing in the spam prevention code here.

They still don't give you stickers to put on your license plate when you fail emissions, you stupid fucking cunt.

So what is this $1000 part? And why do you need a acetylene torch?! You fixing a cat or making your car into a hot rod?!
If you must use a torch for some reason, a $40 home depot one will do just fine. If you're replacing cats on a beater, you don't need any of that. Exhaust cutter and some exhaust clamps to hold your new cats. Done.
But anyways, you're ditching this car in a couple days. So I'm not sure why you would bother getting an emission test. Unless....

RapidPass is a bunch of crap, they worked on it for like 10 years before it was deployed. I agree that is tends to pass most of the cars that drive through it.
The only caveat is if the car has failed Emissions either at a station or via RapidPass usually you have to revisit an inspection station for testing.
Go onto this site and find where the systems are deployed - www.rapidpass.org
Try to drive through 2 different sites on the same day or a day apart.
Get the car up to speed and then coast through if you can or be very light on the throttle. Most cars go into a Decel with Fuel Cut off mode when coasting so it shuts the fuel injectors down so the exhaust is clean at this point.
Not sure how long the data takes to get processed, but you can go online and see if your car passed and pay the fee.

Rapid No Pass
()
Date: March 06, 2018 06:58PM
I tried RapidPass when I had a check engine light for a bad cat. Looked successful driving through several times. Checked online and found out my result was "Vehicle Not Eligible." The RapidPass website says that, among other things, you will get that result if you failed emissions already for the current cycle.
(That wasn't my problem though. As near as I can tell, I was in category 4, which says, "The Commonwealth of Virginia applies a Vehicle Emissions Index (VEI) to determine the cleanest overall group of vehicles and their eligibility for RAPIDPASS. The VEI is based on the emissions test history of a particular Year, Make, and Engine Size. The VEI is updated quarterly. Vehicle groups identified with a VEI exceeding the limit are not eligible to for a RAPIDPASS.")

Inspector never hooked the obd2 to any emission equip.
He just wanted to save me $28.
Heard that lacquer thinner works too.
Scotty Kilmer on YouTube.
My tags are dead bc of the emissions thing.
Ill just risk a ticket by driving to a rapidpass.

My check engine light is on. Advanced Auto checked why for free. The code came back something about the evaporation system. I was told I would have to have it fixed before I could pass emissions inspection. Rapid Pass system was set up on the exit I take to get on 66 on the way home from work. I checked on the website and was clear, sent in the money and renewed my tags no problem.

If you have a smart phone or tablet, get an OBDII App and interface so you can read the codes along with Live/Realtime or Freeze Frame data then you will know exactly what is going on with the engine fuel management system.
The OBDFusion App and proper VeePeak interface from Amazon are less than $40 for both for iProducts, less than $20 for both for Android.

What is the issue here? You have 120 days with RapidPass or 90 days at an inspection station to get your emissions test passed before your registration renewal is due.
And the requirement isn't because Virginia wanted it, the US Government requires Virginia to have an emissions program in cities/counties that fail to meet air quality standards.

Better re-check who is stupid. You get a free re-test any time in 14 days. And you get a waiver if the cost is over $815. You have several months for inspections before you have to renew a registration.
Feel free to take your nasty polluting jalopy back to your non "redneck" state. The Federal Government requires states to have emissions programs in areas with air quality issues.

An inspector who will fail you for recently cleared codes will probably find some other reason to fail you. A decent inspector won't care. I had an old car fail. Took it to a supposed emissions specialist. The guy said he could run some stuff through my system and 3 times out of 4 it would pass. The price was $50. I paid. It worked. I got the readouts I needed. Next inspection the car passed no problem, so who knows what gave me the bad readings the first time.

OP,
Out here in the land of the real white man we have no emissions test requirements. We simply will not stand for it. You people in Fairfax need to grow a set of balls and stop letting the state and federal governments tell you how to live. Bring the car out to Warrenton and sell it to one of our friendly negros. Take that money and go buy yourself another car.

What’s a “creep up”? Is that slang for pending codes? I know they can see if codes have been recently deleted but don’t know how many miles or how long the engine must be driven before it will read a valid test.

On newer OBD2 cars there is a scanner that is plugged in that reads the cars VIN number and if codes have been recently been deleted. There is no wiggle room for these tests.

You moved here, like so many other libtards do, to escape the consequences of your support for moronic liberal politicians who turned your hometown into the shithole that it has become. And now, being a moron yourself, you are repeating your stupidity by turning VA blue.
