Just bought a 2001 TJ 4 cylinder. I don’t have much experience with cars but have wanted to get handier, was going to use it as an occasional driver and learn how to fix things up along the way. I took it for a pre-purchase inspection but the mechanic and I both missed that the entire emissions system had been removed. Check engine light is on. (The shop originally told it was because of a small oil leak. Bought it and got the oil leak fixed and here we are. Lesson learned.)
We live in a state without emissions testing so, while it’s already registered, I’m worried about 1) it being illegal and 2) being a problem with insurance and 3) getting it to pass if I move to another state. Could anyone help me understand or point me to some resources to help me figure out what i’m dealing with, how big of a deal this is, what exactly I’m missing? Thanks.
