Depends why the light is on. At my shop I've reset the light with a scan tool and drove through a drive cycle and inspected the vehicle. Unless it's a major problem or a sensor is showing zero reading you can usually put 20-60 highway majority miles and pass. Most vehicles require multiple consecutive failed emission readings before triggering the check engine light.
Yes, I believe it will, Based on the NYS inspection site. The mechanic will advise you that the light is on. It is not included in the OBD II diagnostics which is sent to DMV. Check out the site and judge for yourself, or ask a mechanic you trust.
Yes, a New York State (NYS) vehicle inspection can be traced through the inspection number. This number is recorded in the state's database and is linked to the specific vehicle, detailing the inspection history and results. You can typically access this information through the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) or by contacting the inspection station that performed the inspection.

The driver is responsible for the vehicle.

That will cause you to fail an emissions inspection. Anything which triggers the CEL will, because everything which triggers it will adversely impact the emissions system on that vehicle.

Yes, a broken motor mount can cause a vehicle to fail a New York State inspection. Motor mounts are essential for securing the engine and reducing vibrations; if they are damaged, it can lead to misalignment and other issues. Inspectors may also assess the safety and performance implications of a broken mount, which could result in a failed inspection.
FYI, I had a mechanice replace the O2 sensor and the check engine light came back on again. I then changed the air filter and took out the Mass Air Flow sensor and cleaned it with electrical parts cleaner and put it back in. I also added a fuel injector cleaner to a full tank of gas. I reset the light by removing the negative cable to the battery for 30 seconds. This worked well enough for the car to pass a NYS inspection.
When it says so IM NOT KIDDING Actually, it expires at the end of the month that it is punched for. So, if it is punched MARCH, it expires the end of that month!!
As of 2023, the New York State vehicle inspection fee typically ranges from $10 to $37, depending on the type of vehicle and the inspection station. Additional fees may apply for emissions testing or if repairs are needed. It's advisable to check with your local inspection station for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.
the same sticker is used for trailer inspections, if it were used on a trailer the "t" would be punched out.
