Happy new year !
So I went outside this morning to get one more record of the coldstart and to my surprise the ready status had finally flipped.
(4 controlled drive cycles plus 1 short drive cycle last night of < 3 miles)
Attached are the logs from this latest startup, things look much better however I have not changed a thing.
The good news is I will be heading to the SmogMan tomorrow and hopefully will pass Smog.
Thanks to everyone that chimed in for help...
