I took my truck to inspection last week. My truck has always ran great and was running great on the way there but by the time they it pulled through the inspection lane i could hear the truck running like crap and they failed it. There was no one but me and another car at inspection and they took a half hour to check the emissions. Two employees there had the hood open and were also screwing around under the dash. Long story short after they failed it, i limped it the short way home running like crap and let it sit for a few days depressed because i was convinced they f***** around with something.
My brother came over and i told him i think the timing somehow got advanced and it was running rich or something. Needless to say he has more automotive experience than i do and said let me hear it run. So i started it up and it turned out one of the spark plug boots was pulled off. There's no was to prove it but i really feel the pos at the inspection station pulled it so i would have to bring it back. From what i understand i think they get paid by the amount of inspections they do?? If thats the case I'm just pissed they wasted my time...
btw truck runs great again with all cylinders firing
