02 sensors not ready?

[WicK]

Hey guys so my readiness for emissions testing isn't ready and I have about 1000 miles on the car since a new tune. Was wondering if there's something to get the 02s hot enough to run their test? I'm not even getting a check engine light or anything. Thoughts?

Happened to me. They were turned off in the tune.

I hope with a new flash then he turned em on lol. He said everything was on. But as long as they are turned on it should cycle right?

Cold starts are more important than miles driven.

Interesting. I thinking about buying this from big daddys garage since it seems as if its a mini cat for the 02?

Lol. Looks like a spark plug defouler. People have been using them for that purpose for years.

Run it in 5th gear at 40mph for a few minutes and then 6th gear on the highway at 60mph for a few minutes. It will set. I had this problem for a while... ended up being super simple.

I remember your thread about that. That was a good read. It had to be done just like you said.

I hope to hear some good news because I don't want someone to have to go through that anxiety of not knowing why the hell they won't set... the catalyst and heated o2 really needed that 6th gear for some reason

I hope so too! Even if I get a check engine light cause I don't have the defowlers just way i know how to drive it for the test. I never use 6th so it makes sense and barely use 5th!

Your car is all stock and on the stock tune?

Sorry for the delay, no its not stock. Still nothing to update as I'm still trying to get this to work. Changed a 02 sensor up front back to ford 02 and changed the battery. Trying to get my sig here to work too to list mods.
