This sounds appealing, but I don't know anyone in the area with a PIWIS/PST2.

I guess the other issue that comes into play is the fact that Ohio does intermittent (every 2 or 3 years?) "E-Checks" (ie emission checks). So far I've gotten by. I've used the scanner to eliminate the CEL just before taking the car in and it seemed to work. Last time, however, when they hooked up the electronics and read the thing they asked if I had recently been working on the car. I answered yes (sort of true ), so they then did the 'sniffer test' (ie checked what was coming out the tail pipe) and she passed.

Anybody know--which approach to resolving the CELs will minimize hassle when it comes to the E-Checks?
