never mind. i found them hidden under the hood by the brake booster.
This is correct.I suspect that with certain items in the drive cycle "turned off" the OBD II system may NEVER be able to complete testing all components, and therefore the P1000 code may NEVER go away.
I'm one of them. Did it with my last three cars. All had the P1000 due to an incomplete EGR monitor.Who are these ppl?
Man, I'm sorry I'm so late but putting those O2's back in is not going to help. You need to get it to clear the EVAP monitor since your EGR is turned off.
This is correct.

Yeah - my 00 Focus, my 05 Focus and my 98 Contour all passed with the P1000 from an incomplete EGR monitor.
The P1000 just indicates that the PCM has not completed all the system monitors, it's not really a trouble code.
My bad, I didn't see the OBD cat monitor incomplete. So yeah, turning the downstream O2's back on should allow it to complete that monitor, and having your EGR working again will allow the EGR monitor to complete. Even if the EVAP monitor is not completed when you return for your emissions, with the EGR & cat monitors completed, and no real trouble codes, you'll pass.true. but my car won't pass smog if it never completes the cycles. here r the 3 incomplete cycles on the car;
-OBD cat
-egr
-evap
am not sure if i solved the egr one yet as i havnt gone back to the smog test booth to try again. all i did was turn it back on. no trouble codes tho. so am assuming i have the 2 left. i could erase the obd cat code by turning the down 02s back on, right? thats what i think anyway.

dont forget that if you dont have cats you will need to install MIL eliminators or you will through a code for cat inefficiency and you will fail the emissions test.
