yeah, here in chicago we have to pass that emissions shit.... and you cant have a check engine light on or its an auto fail.... hate i did it but i was just trying to save money .. really needed a detailling.. and a crapet cleaning,, got 3 kids and a wife... who fucks the car up ..... ....after about a day or to of the check engine light bing on... it would say .. enargine redused power.... an it would KIND of be slugish.. but not its fine.. but it still say check engine.... and the gas gauge would act wacky .... it would read no gas on E, after running for like 15 min....
i have a 08'chevy uplander..... worst part is i just paid that hoe off at the begaining of this year..... would love for it to last as long as i had been paying on it (to me that would make me feel likei got a free car..LOL)

we got the same emmission testings in my state too. damn by the sound of it somthing electrical is seriously messed up. the main computer for your car can be placed in afew spots that definitely could have gotten wet from a pressure wash inside the car. best thing i can recommend being somebody who worked at a specialty shop for acuras and hondas id say you should go to a dealership as expensive as it is, or find a trustworthy independent specialty shop like the one i worked for, that has dealt with your type of car multiple times before, trust me it can make a big difference in the service.
