If I leave the car running in the garage and I stay in the garage and I close the door to the garage then will the CO2 still go off? Where I am renting there's a door you close or open to get to the garage. What if I leave that closed and I leave the car running while I'm in the garage will it be a painless death? I hope the CO2 monitor doesn't go off. Is there any way I can prevent that? I'm in USA.

Can't CTB with modern cars thanks to emissions requirements.

Yeah, if it was still that easy to CTB, I think a lot of us here would be long gone by now. That's why it's a good thing this site exists.

It's often described in newspapers as a silent killer. But is it really so? Do people really fall asleep without feeling anything?

I think with some modern day cars that doesn't work :( I was hoping for something painless as I'm already in so much physical pain that's my reason to end

This is what I thought too when I first joined the site. If I ever had to CTB, I was going to use this method. Take some sleeping pills, put on some good music, and lie in the back seat. But for this to work, I'd have to use an old car. Lawmakers in the USA have tightened down on emission standards. Modern cars don't give off enough CO2 to CTB.

How old of a car do you need? In California all cars need to pass emissions test I have electric car. They need to do smog check every other year that is the emissions test right? My landlord has the gas car from 2014 in garage. I can't use my electric car for this but dos a smog check check the emissions?

Cars made after 1975 don't make carbon monoxide (CO not CO2 btw)

I have no idea. I don't know much about cars. I just heard that modern cars don't produce much CO2. Honestly, I don't feel comfortable given specific instructions. I'm afraid I'd feel guilty. I do hope that CTB is an absolute last resort for people. I'm sorry for whatever brought you here. I hope that there is some way for your life to get better.
