In a nutshell; they "visual" that it is installed and they "functional" by watching it operate (the "stem" moves when vacuum is applied/removed) and the RPMS rise/fall accordingly.
Yeah, it's good for the planet but a P.I.T.A. for us 'hot rodders'

: P.S. The EPA S U C K S !!!!
: : The kick in the teeth is that it's a functional as well as visual test if you get "selected"!!!
