Hi, i'm due for smog on my 997 3.8, last month i changed the battery so that resets the obd, i went for a 200 mile drive and still it says catalyst not ready. i've read some posts and tried the procedure but still can't get it in ready status. any suggestions would help.

I'm assuming when you say "procedure" you mean the drive cycle (search drive cycle to get more info). I've been able to set all my monitors to ready by following the specific steps in the drive cycle - it's a pain but it does work. You need to map out your course and pick a time when traffic won't cause an interruption. Buy an inexpensive OBD reader too if you haven't already, Good luck.
