Hi, I recently had my 99 Honda Civic inspected and the mechanic told me that the emission test results showed that my catalyst, evap, and O2 sensor were all showing as "not ready". Can you tell me the drive cycle to reset a 99 Honda Civic EX Coupe 2DR. Thanks

Hi jaydjayd,

For Honda, there is nothing much you need to do to complete drive cycles.

Start vehicle, drive around and stop engine.
Repeat above 2 or 3 times.
At least 30 mins for first run and subsequent runs of 10 mins will do.
