LOTS of people go for just emissions and this thread is about emissions not VA inspections. And BTW, you can have 10 check engine lights and still pass a VA insp.

Does a check engine light affect safety? Remember, I said you can pass a VA INSPECTION with as many check engine lights as you can possibly have. I didn't say an emissions test. And YES you can still pass an emissions with a check engine light on a pre OBD2 car.
