    I live in New Jersey and any car with OBD II port just gets hooked up to their computer system, which downloads all the emissions data. They don't even use the tail pipe violation method.

    I do.. it just doesn't have to work as hard as yours :p . The Lower Fraser Valley can easily hit 30°C in the mid summer. Closer to low-mid twenties by the coast.

    I'm not sure how they do they emissions testing, but couldn't they move the shifter to "B"? I know when I use it the ICE is forced to run continuously, even when I come to a comple stop the ICE will continue to idle.

    I don't think the A/C trick would work, I use the A/C a lot here in San Antonio yet the ICE shuts off quite frequently.

    From the Simpsons:

    Newspaper editor: … And to protect Mother Earth, each copy contains a certain percentage of recycled paper.

    Lisa: And what percent is that?

    Newspaper editor: Zero. Zero’s a percent!
