Emissions Problem

[creative338]

OK guys here is my question. Does anyone know the exact procedure for what it take to get my emmissions system running and able to test?

I have a 97 and yeah it just sits in my garage, I had the battery run down to the point I had to put the car on a charger to start it. I took it for emissions testing in AZ and it was rejected because it wouldn't test (OBD). The read out was, EGR = ready, O2 sensor = not ready, heated O2 = ready, EVAP = not ready.

The dealer and another shop basically told me I need to drive it so the computer will learn a history, I drove about 50 miles and retested with the same result OBD system not ready.

Just keep driving it some more. If you have a ODBII reader, it can tell you when all of the sensors are ready.

Thanks, I know I need to drive it, I was just hoping someone knew how many hours or how many miles it took for the process as I don't have an OBD reader. I will try to put another 100 miles on it on Sun and retest it on Mon.

I'm going to guess that it's not just miles, but start cycles from cold.
