I would take that to mean the equipment that cleans up the vehicles emissions is removed from the engine.
Yes if it is emissions related.
It will fail most tests if the light is on.
electric
If a car engine stalls when turning, there could be a problem with the power steering pump. There could also be an issue with an emissions control device.
Yeah, it can. If something is wrong with your emmision control system, your car can still fail emmisons, but the check engine light doesn't have to be on.
The gas model has the same byproducts /emissions as any other gasoline automobile. The electric model has zero emission/byproduct.
It measures distance for the car, it is not dependent on engine run time.
Whether or not a car will pass inspection with the Check Engine light on is up to the state or county giving the test. As long as the car passes an emissions test, it should be fine.
One of the major benefits that comes hand in hand with owning a hybrid car is that it produces substantially lower emissions than other types of cars. Due to the dual propulsion technology used in hybrid cars, even a hybrid with the filthiest gas engine on Earth would still produce less emissions than a traditional car. This dual technology is a big part of what makes hybrid car emissions so low.
Many things. Whether or not the car can be sold (originally) in CA. The engine size and tune-up specs. The required Emissions Equipment. Now they have bar-codes, etc. to help the mechanic/emissions guy.
No it won't hurt the engine BUT you could get carbon monoxide in the car. Don't sit in a parked car with the engine running if your exhaust is bad - it could kill you.
to take fumes and nasty gases away from the engine and to the outside of the car and to clean up emissions as much as possible.
