Do they run the 2500 RPM test first in PA?

They run the idle test first... at least where I went they ran it first.
Unfortunately due to scheduling constraints this time, I left it for them.
I imagine it had been sitting for at least a half an hour... after listening to the engine, looking at the duty cycle, and sniffing the exhaust I was confident enough to leave it there for them to do their worst.
Besides which I had already exceeded the $150.00 emissions repairs amount to buy a waiver if it had failed.
It passed the first time through.
If you fail the first test here in PA they do a "preconditioning" (top off the oil if necessary, and rev it at 3000 for 3 minutes before doing a retest. If you fail the retest with "preconditioning" you have 30 days to get a repeat of the whole procedure at no additional cost.
