Emissions Readiness - How long does it take for the O2 sensors and Catalyst to reset back to Passed?
I need to do emissions this week, and I checked my codes and I had one that they would have most likely have failed the cars emissions (intermitten EGT error) - I checked readiness and everything passed, but of course when I cleared the codes it reset the readiness. If I were to let the car idle for an hour or so, would these reset? Do I need to go out and restart the car a dozen times?
Any help would be appreciated, registration expires Saturday

Do you think idling will get it to there too? I am stuck in the office, and its just as easy for me
start it and let it run for 30 mins, plus I could shoot right over to the emissions shop while the car is warm.

From what i understand about emissions stuff, there are different driving conditions it has to
encounter to complete the cycle. I think it needs varying speeds and loads but i'm not 100% positive.

i think you are right....when gustas, jd and i went out and logged my car we noticed it
would not read anything at 0% out of gear but it would change at whatever idle load is for a given speed with car in gear.
doc might be better with memory on that though....i was driving
