failed emissions
just failed inspection. car passed great at 2500 rpm. failed at 670 idle rpm. co% max to pass 1.2 measured 2.622%. i knew i needed a MAP sensor. went straight to parts store to get MAP sensor. after i replaced it, it was surging badly at startup, then drove it a few miles and idle is better but still has a intermitant rough idle. i have also replaced the O2 sensor reciently. pulled and cleaned the IAC last summer along with new plugs,wires, cap and rotor. all have made it much better. should i drive a few more miles first, or just try my luck again at the emissions?

I'd say disconnect the battery to clear the codes and then drive it for awhile. I assume you have, what, 7/14/30 days to get it re-inspected, right? Drive it until it purrs.
As I understand it, these computers have to "re-learn" the car.
