Inspection with CEL in NYC Area?
Just want to know if there is some way to get an inspection done, regardless of CEL in the NYC Queens Area. I realize this may be inappropriate but I would appreciate any assistance. Feel free to PM if necessary.

ap > this problem.

you can configure the AP to completely disable a CEL inside the actual PCM.. so it's not just "clearing" the CEL but getting rid of it at the software level which probably means I won't need to swap my CAT in for inspection when I get the midpipe on!

All that has to be done is "uncheck" any DTC and it'll disable it.

Obviously some caution needs to be taken on what you disable.

why don't you find out what is the cel? fix it, it's your car, don't tell me that you don's care when there is CEL..unless you have some modifications or major modificatios, then it's understood that you are trying to get a short cut, but when it's stock, it means someting when you have CEL.
