Doubt it. They picked 1988 because that was the first year tighter emission controls were started.

nope. unless they change the rules, 1988 is always going to need an emission test . 1988 has been for several years now...

Find out if your vehicle needs a DriveClean test.

Why is the test only needed in certain parts of Ontario, and not others?

They decided to concentrate on areas of high traffic concentration.

I thought Ford was going to scrap emissions testing? Didn't he scrap something along these lines or am I thinking of something else?

It's not Ford's jurisdiction, its provincial legislation of which ford had no control over

Theres this liquid you can buy at Canadian Tire calle Guaranteed to Pass. You put it in your gas tank, fill it up, drive the tank off, refill the tank, and go get your test done.

Also, make sure your engine is hot. Take it for a spin, at ;least a 1/2 hour, to get the engine at normal operating temp.

Good luck!

Anyone know if this has any effect on the engine? And do all diesels get exempt from emissions or certain years?

Don't know about that stuff but as far as I know all diesel pick-up trucks after 7 years are required to have a test . Last time I had a test done on my diesel pick-up the paper showed all zero's . No results or amything and yet it passed .
