SOURCE: EGR System .....Not Ready

It could take more driving always make sure you have between 1/4 -3/4 tank or monitors cant run has anyone checked to make sure the EGR is functioning? Not just the valve but the EGR system?

SOURCE: 1992 dodge stealth failed smog test with high NOx

NOX is produced when cylinder temperatures exceed 2500 f.
Your vehicle has 2 ways to directly reduce NOX, EGR system, and catalytic converter, and also the cooling system indirectly.
Take a look at the EGR system, vacuum lines, pipes, and make sure the diaphragm moves. Disconnect the vacuum line, then push on the diaphragm and plug the hole (from vacuum line) when you release the diaphragm there should be vacuum. Also you may want to take it out and give the EGR passages and EGR valve a good cleaning, with some type of carbon cleaner like carb cleaner.

2000 Nissan Altima XE need drive cycle to pass smog test after disconnecting battery

If you take your car to smog check station and they talk about drive cycle,that means you need to drive you car on the street at speed of 25 to 35 mph then take it to the freeway and accelerate to get the speed of the rest cars and drive you car at 55 to 65 mph then take it down to the street again and drive a little more the turn it off, this is what the mechanics call drive cycle after this the car if everything is right I mean if there is no any damaged sensor the onboard computer get all the info from the sensors and is ready to the test

Won't pass smog when it should...

Just because the car seems to run well, does not mean the emissions are within spec. For example, you could be running a little rich and the car will start and run great, but the exhaust is not within code.
What you can do is take it to a "smog shop", that is a repair shop with the proper equipment to diagnose the problem. If the testing is simply the reading of the on board computer codes, then most any place can read those, but you need an experinced mech to know what to do about it. May need an exhaust gas analyzer to physically sample and analyse the gasses. For the actual test, as long as the computer says all is fine, usually, you're good to go.
If the computer looses power any saved run data will be lost and must be re-accumulated to pass the smog test. A few hours to a day is usually enough run time to accumulate enough data.

Will no pass smog test

Your catalytic converter may be shot but first I would replace my upstream and down stream o2 senors one at a time first to see if it will pass. Hope this helps!

Passing inspection

it is called a drive cycle self test, this gives the computer a chance to test itself and see if all problems have been corrected and all systems are functioning properly, if the test is not done the computer will read "not ready" and u fail smog. this test can take up to a week to complete.

Prerunner wont pass smog due to engine service light

Not positive on this so consider only. The o2 sensor is what actually tells everything else what is going on with emmission and everything else adjusts to what info it relays. The o2 is also subjected to extreme temps and cooling cycles. So, instead of spending money on no answer diagnostism give replacement of o3 sensor so consideratio. If you choose to replace, wd40 and let exhaust cool down. Good Luck.
