Hey guys,

Anyone in Santa Monica or nearby who could help out another forum member? I need some help with respect to completing drive cycles before going in for SMOG because I just had to replace a dead battery. Need to get the drive cycle completed quickly and looking for local another member to help me.

Please let me know. Thanks!!!

Not in Santa Monica. Is a drive cycle something like turn car on, drive 5 minutes, turn car off, rinse, and repeat?

No, much more complicated than that. Turn on for a few minutes, drive at constant speeds for a while and then speed up, and then decelerate. Rinse and repeat. I just need someone to help me thru this cycle several times.

are there specific monitors that are not completing? usually the stubborn monitors just need no less than 40mph, and no more than 60mph for 15-20 miles. hard to do with LA traffic, easier to complete late night or early morning in the slow lane
