I don't feel I'm hijacking the thread, since the OP problem started with emissions testing detecting a tuning issue.
This is devastating to the modified tuning world!
Plugging in the OBD2 port and finding no codes isn't enough to pass, they must see all systems tuned 'on' and functioning.
If you eliminate O2 sensors and EGR for headers and turn them off in the tune, you can no longer pass emissions.
Guys will have to reinstall emmisions components and put the tune back to 'stock' in order to pass.
This could be impossible in some cases.

Hence why they are testing this way. Their just being thorough like we are at our jobs so I get it. What's funny is you will not take the gear head out of us. Instead you will be seeing a lot more older, much faster, much much more polluting older fun cars getting built at an alarming rate.

Generally how long does if take to complete a drive cycle?
Is it time or mileage?

Here is a link to the Ford readiness procedure
http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html
My MM failed emission because the battery went dead which, I assume, reset the ECM. I just drove it normally for two or three days and got it reinspected. All the readiness monitors were OK. In N.C. your only allowed one readiness monitor to be "not ready".

Mine took damn near four days of misc errands. I just kept checking my scanner till I was good and ran it right on thru. Decent scanners that also check monitors are cheap and are a must have!

Yeah...errands. I hate errands but if that's what it take then errands it will be. I have been waiting for that drive cycle to complete since Sunday. But I have been doing mostly highway driving. I have til end of July so I guess by then it will complete. If not I will be selling...not really
