If you recently disconnected the battery, it takes the PCM about 50+ miles before it shows them ready for testing.

Driven past 50 miles already. I noticed that the temp gauge only goes up about 1/4 of the way. Is it supposed to be at half?

ok.....so its not the thermostat. Im out of ideas as to what it is. All the emissions systems are not ready.

o2, egr, catalyst. Car has been driven more than 300 miles already. weak battery? weak fuel pump?

My car got that code when i dropped my engine in... My egr sensor plug was broken, so i just took the plug off and connected the wires manually to the female end and it fixed everything... when that plug was not connected my speedometer didn't work and my car stalled a lot.

Thats the thing. I have no codes stored. When I check for codes I get a 55 which means there is nothing stored.

Im out of options as to what to do at thi spoint. Im gonna just have to start testing and replaceing all the sensors. Can someone who's had this problem before please chime in?

Okay first of all what state are you doing the test in?

Have you already failed a test, and if so what were the results(what part did it fail)?
