I have a 1997 Ford Crown Victoria that initially failed the emissions testing due to the "check engine light" and OBD II code failure. I had repairs done, replaced the O2 sensors, by a repair shop apparently not familiar with emissions testing. I now keep getting "rejected" at the emissions tesiting site and have repeatedly been told the car has not been through the "drive cycle" required to reset the readiness monitors. I cannot find the required "drive cycle" information anywhere on the internet, the owner's manual only says to drive 20 minutes highway and 10 minutes city. I have put over 2000 miles on the car since the repairs were made, both highway and city driving and the Evap and catalyst monitors are still not ready. HELP, please, I can't afford to spend any more on this vehicle at this time and the tags were due last November...
