Hi guys. Recently changed fuel pump and fixed bad connector on fuel pump module. Car i had left me stranded. The car now runs fine. No codes. Took the car for state inspection recently and my fuel and evap system said not ready. I drove car another 150 miles and it still says the same. Anybody experience this before. My car passed last yr just fine.

There is a very specific set of criteria needed to get that monitor to set as “Ready”. Google the OBD-II drive cycle to get an idea. But on that one you’ll likely need to drive the fuel tank down low, then fill it up, then do a cold start. Or something to that effect. It can be a pain lol.

I have driven the car over 200 miles and its still in not ready status. Does anyone know how long it takes to be ready for emissions. I did have a lean code before all this. I usually mix E85 with 91. I think it was because of that. I reset the codes and drove the car 250 miles so far.

As stated above you you need to drive the specific cycle. Typically easiest to do that is on a deserted 2 lane hwy as there's a lot of speed variation and braking. However, evap takes forever to clear. Like hundreds of miles. I went thru this on a battery change in an Avalanche just before inspection when I lived in NY. Failed all the readiness codes. Spent 20 minutes on the drive cycle, brought it back and passed all except for evap. But in NY you only needed to pass 3/4 codes. Not sure about where you are at. If you can clear the fuel code maybe it will pass without evap.

Did you read what I wrote above…? It’s NOT mileage related. If you don’t hit the specific criteria, it won’t show “ready”. Period.

Reading poisons the mind.
Stick with tik-tok.

How long ago was that the case? I've never been able to pass a NYS inspection if my EVAP wasn't ready. I had a Chevy Colorado that had a persistent EVAP leak I couldn't track down, and it was a juggling act to clear the code and have enough time to get the data to at least read "ready" or "pending" to pass.
