OBD II Drive cycle? Anyone know how to complete a drive cycle for my dd a 00' GTP? I changed the intake manifold about 350 miles ago and went to get her smogged the other day but the damn thing wont pass because the EGR/VVT system isnt ready -_-
Usually on most cars you want around a half tank of gas, cruising the freeway between 40-65 mph for at least 10 miles in mild weather without AC. Any extremes and the monitors won't run. Example: too high or low ambient temps, driving too slow or too fast, empty gas tank, excessive engine loads and pending faults can cause the monitors to not run
If you've driven over 100 miles, and it still hasn't passed the monitor there's a good possibility there's a problem. As a general rule of thumb if everything is all good, all obd2 monitors run and pass within 10 miles on most cars
