Default Re: Emissions Testing

Update. Driven the car a little over 300 miles, took driving tips from all the drive cycle articles I found. Let it idle for ten minutes twice before driving, I've driven steady speeds, varied speeds, fast, slow, decel to 20mph without brakes, I think I've used all the combos I've read. I have an elm code reader and an IPhone but that set up won't do emissions test. I ordered a blue driver reader yesterday, got it today and it does do smog tests. You get what you pay for. It shows the secondary air system ready, it wasn't on the two trips to the emissions station so I have gained that much but it still shows the evaporative system not ready. Guess I'll just keep driving. I'll let you all know when I get it to pass.
