What do they test for the emissions test? I'm from Pennsylvaina and all they test is the gas cap.

Don’t go and start replacing stuff on your car just because your friend did so
be smart about things
you have a check engine light on.
Your car trying to pass along a message .
Get the code
that will help pin point the troubled area.
In the report it will include or should include the reason for failure
post code or reason here some one will help you
