Hey all -

It's like my car knows I'm trying to sell it and it is messing with me at every opportunity so I don't sell it.

Last week, got a flat tire AND a CEL on the way to showing it to a potential buyer. Fixed the flat, replaced the AOS to fix the CEL, good to go, right? No. It won't pass smog here in California because I still have two incomplete monitors. EVAP and Secondary Air are still showing incomplete on my OBD2 scanner. Yesterday I had catalyst incomplete as well, but that is gone now.

I've driven over 150 miles, followed all the ridiculous drive cycle instructions, done a mix of highway and city, but I still can't get these two monitors to complete. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there a different way to tackle this problem? There's an interested buyer with cash who wants to buy it tomorrow, but I can't sell it till it smogs.

Thanks for the help guys.
