Evap system incomplete

335ixdrive18 · 11-21-2016, 11:11 PM

Hey guys quick question. I've been trying to take my car to emissions and my evap system still shows incomplete. I've been trying to achieve full readiness for about 2 days now and nothing. Only code I have is map thermostat: mechanics. No cel or anything. Any suggestions how to get this evap system to "complete" status?? I have a 08 335 btw! And I have a half tank of gas.

How many cold starts have you completed?

IIRC it needs to go through 4 cold starts to set readiness, or something similar. I'm in the same boat you are since my car is due for inspection by the 30th.

Make sure the car always has at least 1/2 tank of gas while performing this as well. This is just what I've heard, YMMV.

What state are you in? You can still pass smog emissions with the EVAP not ready in the state of California. But only that one.
