Failed car inspection

[camaro69]

Failed first time because the check engine light came on while the emissions test was running. Later that day the check engine light went off by itself. Waited 2 days, no light on, brought it back to the dmv and passed.

Go figure.

This is straight from the NJ DMV that was updated this year. "If your vehicle fails inspection, you have up to one month from the last day of the month indicated on the inspection sticker to make repairs and return for re-inspection at a state inspection facility or state-licensed private inspection facility (N.J.A.C. 13:20-7.5). Vehicles overdue for inspection do not receive additional time to make necessary repairs (N.J.A.C. 13:20-43.12). Your vehicle may still be cited by law enforcement for equipment out of compliance."
