Last week I tried to get my car tested for emissions. IN VA, for OBD-II cars they plug it in. My car wasn't ready for the Evap system or the catalyst system and another that I can't recall of the top of my head. I took it to them 3 times, and each time the car 'wasn't ready.' I drove the car 200+ miles, and the last time, I drove it all the way around the Capital Beltway (60+miles), and the car, last time I took it in (last saturday) wasn't ready.
What can cause this? MY understanding is the 3 drive cycles are required typically for the OBD-II self test to be complete. The car has no DTCs.
I had thought the MILs might have caused this, but the O2s seem to be ready according to the inspector.....any input is greatly appreciated.
