Talking Running OpenLoop SD and Due Inspection-Help with P0103?

I am running Open Loop with EFILive COS 3. I am due inspection soon and need some help. I was told the P0103 MAF code will cause it to fail the ODBII inspection. I re-installed the MAF and hooked it back up but I still get the code. I know I need to change a few items but am not sure what. I was going to re-program my PCM with a old problem before open loop but thought if I could just change a couple of items it would be easier. What does everyone think? Anyone have this problem before inspection?

Will I need to go back to the stock OS to do this or can I just flash an old cal into the EFILive OS?

Did you reset the computer? The MAF fail code may not just go away.

you need to set all your MAF fail settings back to stock. You should be fine running the custom OS. I'll be due for inspection by the time I get my top end back together (but I'll probably stretch it a few months for the hell of it) and will be trying to pass inspection with !maf. I'll let you know how it goes.

I setup a special tune that I put in the PCM right before I got to the station. I did place the MAF back on but probally could of left it off. Passed like a charm. No DTC's and all readiness test completed.
