Secondary Air System Monitor Incomplete!

[speedyspaghetti]

UPDATE TIME BOYS!

So I tried the method mentioned here http://986forum.com/forums/boxster-general-discussions/64722-tip-secondary-air-not-ready.html for cold starting, holding the car at 2-2.5k rpm in neutral and voila, the SAI is now complete!

Just need EVAP now.

Two questions:
1. Is EVAP necessary? I read somewhere that in CA I can still pass smog with the EVAP monitor incomplete.
2. If it is necessary, is there something someone has done that makes evap trip?

Thanks everyone... almost done with this nightmare.

That's very interesting about the SAI
I have done no research on EVAP systems so sorry I can't help.
Glad to hear your making positive progress.

Great news on the SAI!

From what I've read on the EVAP, you need to have your fuel tank between 1/4 to 3/4 full. Then drive at a steady speed of between 40 & 60 mph. maintain steady speed for about 15 minutes.

I know some states allow for 1 incomplete test, but I don't know if CA is one of them.
