Tip on Secondary Air not ready

For months I've been fighting SAI not going ready and last night it did without driving the car. I've asked this question to many Smog Station owners, the list here and most everyone has stated the car had to be driven in conjunction with the cold start. Well, I'm here to tell you, not so. I've cold started many a times driven over a 1000 mi and it never worked. So, last night I tried a method suggested by someone else on another forum. Cold start the car and immediately rev it up to 2800 or there about with all power on, AC, headlights for the first 2 min of the SAI test. I took a cheapy code reader to it before and during the startup and Wala it went ready and passed Commiefornia smog this morning. Now, I don't know if this method would work if you had other codes not going ready as I assume other readiness factors may have an affect on SAI. Oh what a relief it is.
