Has anyone ran across any smog issues on the Civic where it wont pass smog due to it not reading the ready check. The tech told me that I failed due to my '97 Civic EX not reading the ready check. The sensors all passed as did my catalytic convertor, just not the ready check.
One suggestion was to drive the car straight for 1/2hr to 1hr before the smog check to warm the engine and allow time for the computer to activate the ready check. Any other suggestions???? :banghead:
