    No, I meant "all" as in "all states that have inspection".

    Here in Ohio, we have absolutely no sort of inspection of any kind. You pay them the money, you can get anything, no matter how bad of condition, licensed and stickered.

    I've seen cars clear the monitors in 30 miles, and others not clear them after 300. I agree the 100 miles is a "rule of thumb". I've also seen the computer in the car needs to register accelerations, decelerations, key on/off, engine temp to running condition then cool off. I tell customers to just do a few days of "normal" driving...to and from work, to the store, etc. The state inspection computer here in Texas will pass if one or maybe two certain monitors have not cleared, but emission monitors have to clear no matter what. They should be able to plug in a diagnostic computer and check if all the monitors have cleared and if not, which ones still need to clear before putting the car back on the inspection computer. Jim.

    Maybe the county you live in but here in Medina you have to have an E check.
