Took my 04 gt for inspection today. Previous owner put new battery on it and drove between 20-30 miles on it. I have like 5 miles on it extra.

It didnt pass inspection because it said. EGR system not ready and Evap system not ready. Car has 14,000 miles. What to do?

yea some of the monitors take foreever to run. especially evap, make sure you have between 1/4-3/4 tank of gas. anything more or less and the evap doesnt like to run. but a good 20 mile drive should run them, like said you only need 1 more to run.

I had the same problem. Threw a code P1443 {EVAP} My Ford man gave me the following instructions. Fill the tank. Drive 45 to 50 mph steady for 35 to 50 miles. No stopping, no gunning , I set the cruise. When I got home I left it running, Called my man and brought it to his shop. It passed. It was in storage all winter with no battery.

Make sure the car has not been tuned prior, many tuners shut some of these monitors off for many reasons. You will need to complete a full drive cycle to see if they set.
