No guarantee, but I passed MD emissions with a Cobb AccessPort re-flash. I did not have a CEL.

The test includes:

Visual inspection
OBD II scan

if your readiness monitors show ready and you don't have a CEL you should pass... check your state dmv requirements regarding how many sensors can show "not ready".

Sorry but I am not familiar with PA emissions testing. Neither are 98 percent of members. Think about it.

it's just an OB2 scan. I just wanted to make that after the reflash the ecu will still show all the monitors working properly.

If it's a quality reflash that doesn't cause the engine to run improperly, you shouldn't have issues passing OBD2 scans.

Do you have an 07-08 z? I also live in md but been having doubts if my 08 can pass the tp test with the tune to tune off the engine light.
