Not a threadjack at all. The answer is YES! Simply unplug the programmer. (I'd remove it AND the cord so that the inspectors don't have anything to raise their eyebrows over).
Everyone (that I've read about) on these forums that has LEFT the tune in place for an emissions inspection has passed! Those that have returned the tune to "stock" have generally "failed".
Returning the tune to stock sets a "drive cycle" code that MAY take a while to clear. (There IS a procedure to clear the code faster, but you do not want to have to deal with it)! If this code is set, you will fail the emissions test - simply because the test "sees" any code as "bad".
So, in answer to your question, unplug and remove the programmer and the cord and leave the PCM programmed to Level 1.
