I live in Fairfax and was thinking of going to one of these meetups...also, where do you guys get your cars inspected (where they're lenient if you're throwing codes)? I think a couple of my mods are throwing codes, and don't know if a P0300 will pass inspection...

That's a random misfire. Is the check engine light on? I live in Maryland and they will not let that pass if the check engine light is on.

You should fix that.

he said stating the obvious

Yeah, the light's on and occasionally it turns off for a few days or weeks. The dealership tried a few things, but they said I'll have to take it off for them to continue trying to fix the issue. Can you disable the MAF?

Take what off? And no, you need your MAF.

There aren't many lenient shops in VA because the penalties for letting things slide is huge.

Like Steve said, shops around here wont pass you with a CEL, unless you know somebody, but they usually wont risk it. Maybe if you cleared it before you went in perhaps? Then you could hope for the best. Id get it fixed though.

Also, if you want to come to a meetup, you may want to check in here to make sure people are attending. Been pretty quiet lately.
