SES And Inspection
How far do you need to drive your car after fixing and clearing a code before you can get an inspection???

is this on the 95' you have listed? for emissions it shouldn't matter if the light is on if its a 95-down car just so long as it can pass the sniffer test.

Last year I overheard a garage tell a woman who had to get an O2 sensor put in before they would inspect her... that she had to drive 100 miles or so before they would re-try the inspection. It likely depends upon the code. You could alway call the garage and ask them....or just try it.

I've heard from a couple different sources that it won't pass if the codes have just been reset. I had the Monte at the dealer Thursday night for a an evap problem & inspection. They called to get my permission for the service manager to drive it home & bring it back in the morning. He lives about 10 miles away so a twenty mile trip was all it took.

Just kidding... it is true that some codes require a certain # of miles driven...others are engine on/off cycles...
