I live in the Phoenix area and my '91 Acura Integra just failed the pressure test part of the e-check. Everything else passed.

I'm in the process of saving for a newer car, so I'm trying not to put additional money into it outside of normal maintenance.

I know that the Tuscon testing did not do a pressure test a couple years ago, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

Can anyone verify? I'd rather drive a couple hours than put hundreds into a car that isn't worth that much.|||In California the type test done on the car is dependent upon where the car is Registered (Garaged) so no matter where you go in the state the test is the same. In CA the EVAP (Low Pressure Fuel Evaporative Test) is done on ALL cars that require (95 and older) it no matter where they go for a smog check/test/inspection. (EVAP test is 1/2 psi Nitrogen in the gas tank with the Evap Canister blocked off...testing for leaks in the system that are bigger then .040"...like your OBDII systems are supposed to do)

Lets see. 4 hours of driving $.$$ in fuel....four hours of your time......
$85.0 to diagnose the problem.....$5.00 for a new rubber hose... which way do you go

How about this.
WWW.Yelp.com.....Smog Check Tuscon CA.... choose a 5* location AND CALL THEM|||about the only thing that i see that would have a pressure test would be the gas cap. i had to replace mine a few years ago for that very reason.
