<VV> Emissions lights...

I JUST returned from emissions test (IL) on an '01 Blazer.  The first thing 
they do is put a sniffer in the gas tank.  I suspect that they are looking 
for any additives which might get a marginal car past the test?  Next, they 
turn off the engine, hook up the diagnostic electronics and restart - 
watching for the appropriate lights to come on and then go off during 
startup.

Passed - good for 2 years.

Later, JR
