Just double checking
During emissions testing, our cars should be run on the two wheel dyno with the front wheel drive fuse in, correct?

4 wheel dyno
I take mine right up to the "all wheel drive" lane and don't touch the fuses.
They ran it for less than a minute last time. |

Man, that reminds me. I'm going to have to get my cars tested here in IL when I register them, aren't I? Crap. I haven't had to go through that racket in awhile...

Surprisingly, they only ran mine for about 20 seconds.
Would I have hurt anything by running on the two wheel with the fuse in? |

Hope evryone passes--I did |

In R.I. garages and dealerships do the inspections so I just take mine to the Subaru dealership, they have no AWD dyno and they know better than to try to put a Subaru on the 2whl.

It was explained previously, by a highly competent member here who I would very much doubt to provide misinformation, that during emmisions testing, the FWD fuse should be inserted and the car should be ran on a 2-wheel dyno. What he said made sense to me and I believe him, but I find it strange that the little SVX booklet mentions nothing of the FWD fuse in relation to emissions testing. I also find it strange that everyone here, as well as dealerships and shops that I have called, say go in the all-wheel drive lane. I gather I'm worrying too much and it really doesn't matter.

when I pull my turbo supra up onto that there "dyno" at the emissions test place, I can't keep the power from spinnin the wheels, they usually just let me leave with a pass, since I make too much tire burn out smoke for anyone to breathe. They gotta get me outta there asap or things could get fatal, its a good thing my car has that much power, cause I have no cats on my exhaust so I wouldn't pass anyway!
