Wish I could make it. Too much work tomorrow, unfortunately. I did at least get the Porsche out today for a nice long drive to a client's home.

The one in Parker is second Saturday of every month, weather permitting... Pretty impressive turnout today for December. They always get a wide variety of cars, from gads of McLaren's & Ferrari's to a Gas Monkey '50's pickup, More godzilla's (GTR's) than I could count, American muscle (new and old), Japanese tuners, German autobahn blasters, you name it. Something for everyone... At least one 996, 997, and 991 Turbo represented!

The one in Louisville is the first Saturday of every month, even larger, but not quite as eclectic of a mix.

Tim,

did you you get it all sorted out?

Tim Wasmer

No. Still ****ed by Co Emissions. Even working with the dealer. Flash back to basic and then do the drive cycle and nothing.

32krazy!

sometimes it take a few drive cycles to get everything in readiness modes.

If you are driving the car in a reasonable manner the readiness monitors should reach complete without much if any effort on your part.

You want to avoid "spirited" driving. Every time when I've cleared a code and the readiness monitors are all set to incomplete I just drive the car like I always do and the readiness monitors are set to complete. I don't bother to monitor their progress during the drive it is just afterwards after my approx 30 mile commute to work the times I've bothered to check the readiness monitors are set to complete.

If you are driving the car reasonably and the readiness monitors don't all reach complete after a drive of reasonable length and time there's probably a problem the DME is encountering that is causing it to postpone setting one or more readiness monitors to complete. The DME hasn't yet clearly id'd a problem -- or the CEL would be on -- but it might have a pending code set. If so this might provide you with a clue as to what's going on.

I have run it thru several drive cycles that the dealer recommended. Not over 3k, no boost for 20 miles. Which is what they use to get cars to pass. And I get crap. We are going to switch out the exhaust to a stock exhaust next. Even though nothing has changed since 2 years ago when it passed.

32krazy!

heres the specifics of a drive cycle. it must be done in these parameters or the monitors may not reset.

If all else fails, I know of some great mountain properties in Grand County that are on the market! ;-)

Tim Wasmer

I do have a possible option to register in the Mountains Want to see if I can get this to pass first. Oh the fun.

Get it to pass so you can go have fun with the rest of us while the weather is still nice!

Tim Wasmer

I KNOW!!! Putting on a full stock exhaust and cats tonight. Then drive cycles (let the snow pass) and try again.

Get a cheep odb2 scanner and connect while you drive around. It will tell you when the monitors are ready then head straight to inspection without turning off car.
