You have three choices, stand behind our troops, grab a gun and toe the line with our troops, or stand in front of them, they can use the extra armor.

That is the one he thought he had solved by replacing the gas cap. Apparently it came back. Could be anywhere really from the gas cap to a manifold exhaust leak.

You could always do this, reset the engine codes about 2 miles before the emission place. When you get there you won't have any codes =P

You need to drive the car for at least 50 miles before getting an emissions check in order for the computer to be able to read your car. And if you have a CEL, you won't pass.

However the day before you picked up the car, Laura and I hopped in the car and just drove around for over 80 miles, and didn't get a check engine light. =/
