I am in IL. They require emissions testing.
The report I received said:
Evaporative test result (gas cap test): PASS
OBD (On Board Diagnostic) Result: FAIL
I own a 6 cyl. 2.8 liter automatic 1996 328i with 120,000 on it.
Apparently the check engine light would not come on and that is why the guy told me they failed it. The read out had two error codes on it:
P1421
P1423
I cannot find what these codes pertain to. I talked to my mechanic and he said it could be codes that just were not erased from the system.
So I guess the problem could be anything from a bad CEL bulb to whatever the actual problems are regarding the codes it is throwing.
Anyone have any experience or advise with all of this? Thanks!
