Those many previous questions required no ODB2.

For example. Start the car. Drive it on a fixed course that includes one spot where you literally floor it. Do not turn off the engine until you are right back where you started. Repeat that at least three times. Its computer might seea a same failure all three times. But does not report some failures until you have driven it the exact same way after each new restart.

Asked were other important questions such as how an emissions test was performed. By connecting to the computer diagnostic port? By using an exhaust pipe wand? What were numbers for each pollutant? Also important information. And did not require an ODB2.
