Phone 717-421-9117 Respect tlly_ b fitted„_...- f7' 4/13• ?5P eas e Mae Myers P#3°03,' On 13 November 2013 a 1994 Lexus bearing ser# jt8gk13t0r0062997 come in to my shop for pa emission inspection ( cars with the years 75 to a 95 are a visual inspection, and gas cap check). My father Barry Myers and myself Diane Myers both checked over this vehicle very well because we both knew it was a set up by the state. I checked over the vehicle first then my father checked it over, there are 6 components to check for they are the following, fuel inlet restrictor, catalyic converter,positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) valve, exhaust gas recirculation (egr) valve, air Injection reaction system, evaporative control system. As my father Barry Myers and I Diane Myers checked over the vehicle we found no possible reason for the vehicle to fail. We first checked under the hood, everything was there and hooked up as it should have been. (EGR, PCV) were the only two components under the hood. We then checked under the vehicle for the catalytic converter it also was there and hooked up as it shound have been. We then opened the gas lid, took the gas cap off to check for the fuel inlet restrictor it also was there as it sould be. I then tested the gas cap as i should, it passed with no problem. The evaporative control system was not visable, the air inj system is one that is not required'for that vehicle. We thought the state wanted to see if we were doing PA emission inspection to the book. Other things required for any Emission is to chock the wheels , verifie ownership ( vin # must match vin# on vehicle, plate# must match plate# on vehicle) on registration or renewed resistration printed off-line insurece card is not required for PA emission inspection. My father Barry Myers and I Diane Myers are both certified to do PA emission inspection•and we both did everything to the book on the 13th of november2013 Thank You For Your Time.
