REPORTED ARE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED TO DEVELOP, CHARACTERIZE, AND RANK AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES. THE EXPERIMENTAL DATA WERE DEVELOPED FROM THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF INVESTIGATIONS: AN ENGINE PARAMETER FIELD SURVEY TO CHARACTERIZE THE GENERAL IMAINTENANCE STATE OF VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS; A SCREENING EXPERIMENT TO SELECT THE MOST FREQUENT AND EXTENSIVE MALFUNCTIONED ENGINE PARAMETERS; A DEFINITIVE EXPERIMENT TO SELECT AND EVALUATE THE MOST EFFECTIVE PARAMETERS TO MAINTAIN IN AN INSPECTION AS DETERMINED BY COMBINING THE DATA FROM THE PREVIOUS TWO EXPERIMENTS.
