running rich, cause by bad O2 sensor and/or bad cats.

Yes, cold weather can have an effect on salt readings. Cold temperatures can cause salt to dissolve more slowly in water, which may lead to lower salt readings. It's important to consider the temperature when taking salt readings to ensure accuracy.
Strong winds can cause a vehicle to lose control, especially when gusts are sudden and strong. This can lead to dangerous situations such as swerving or blowing off course on the road. Drivers should be cautious during windy conditions to maintain control of their vehicle.
Taking temperature readings in the shade helps to ensure accuracy by preventing interference from direct sunlight, which can artificially raise the temperature readings. Shade provides a more consistent environment without fluctuating heat sources, making it a more reliable location for temperature measurement.
When using a pipette or volumetric flask, the volume measurement is taken from the bottom of the meniscus because this provides the most accurate reading, as the liquid's surface tension can cause the meniscus to curve. In contrast, burette readings are taken from the top of the meniscus, which is acceptable because the design of the burette and the gravity flow of the liquid minimize the impact of meniscus curvature on the accuracy of the volume delivered. Moreover, the scale on the burette is calibrated to ensure that readings from the top of the meniscus remain reliable.
If one is referring to a situation in which a vehicle does not pass a smog inspection, there might be several causes. One might be the catalytic converter or an old gas cap.
Depending on what year the vehicle, if the vehicle year is pre-cat it could cause a back fire under deacceleration. If the vehicle year is post-cat it could cause false 02 readings.
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.
The check engine light will come on. If you're in a state which requires a vehicle inspection, this will cause it to fail.

Not really. They might wing it by saying "you looked overweight", but the only cause they need is to think that you might somehow be in violation.
Different intensities.

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.
I'm not sure what is checked during a smog check. In the UK we have an emissions test. If the vehicle (petrol engined) has a miss fire it will bring the carbon monoxide level down. But in doing so The hydrocarbon level will rise. That will cause a test failure
An erratic tachometer in an Infiniti QX4 can be caused by several issues, including a malfunctioning engine control module (ECM), faulty wiring or connections, or a defective tachometer sensor. Additionally, issues with the vehicle's ignition system or fuel delivery can affect engine performance, leading to fluctuations in RPM readings. Regular diagnostics and inspection of these components are essential to identify and resolve the underlying cause.
Air hitting the vehicle will cause drag. The bigger the vehicle the more are drags.
