Need to pass inspection - reset light after repairs or let the car figure it out?

I did not clear the code - I'm in Missouri. But I was afraid that if I cleared, it would take too long for the catalyst monitor to be ready.
Old purge valve was not sealing when unplugged. New one was. So it seems like that was bad.
I also replaced an ABS speed sensor that was throwing a code, but Forscan is still showing erratic speed values that flip to 255 after a few seconds. Seems like an open in the wiring is a possibility. Or a bad abs module. Or my NEW part Never Ever Worked...

Ford had lots of problems with those capless fillers. They're an example of creating more problems than solutions 
Is it still under warranty? If it's a PZEV, the emissions warranty is 10 years/150k

As an update: I picked up the car again today to take another crack at it.
I replaced the wheel bearing on the driver's front. It turned out the tone ring was about half rusted away. The new bearing ($50 for a Shaeffler from RA!) fixed the abs.
I cleared the evap code check engine light and I guess I'll drive it around until it comes back or says it's ready.
One little wrinkle: as I was driving the car to my place, the AC wasn't working and it started smoking at a red light. Looks like the compressor is seized. Yuck! Too many problems for a car with barely over 100k miles (rollback??)
