Ordered an OBDII scanner for myself. I'm hoping I can just clear the code before I leave and then go get the emissions testing done before it comes back.
damn dude, well obviously "clearing" the code will temporarily fix the problem.. have you tried the steel wool?

I keep my bluetooth scanner for Torque in the car at all times so if you still need it and don't have yours yet this weekend just remind me.

I'm with Steve - what code is it throwing?

Yeah I put steel wool in on Friday, but didn't work. I already ordered the scanner and should have it by the end of this week or early next week. The code it was throwing is PA200.

If you mean P2A00 then try the relearn process:

Here are the instructions:

1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Disconnect mass air flow sensor harness connectors, and restart and run engine for at least 5 seconds at idle speed.
4. Stop engine and reconnect mass air flow sensor harness connector.
5. Make sure DTC P0102 is displayed.
6. Erase the DTC memory.
7. Make sure DTC P0000 is displayed.
8. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.

Did you read this post? Berk HFC passing emissions/CELs

There's a bit at the end that talks about resetting the ECU.

That might work literally right before he goes in for the OBD-II emissions test. Be weary though that this probably won't work in the next few years when MD and VA emissions testing equipment gets an upgrade and they can see when your ECU was re-flashed, how long your last CEL was on for before it was cleared, when the CEL was last cleared, etc.

Well luckily for me, this upcoming emissions will probably be my last with the Z.
