Failed inspection:it say monitors not ready

Performing a GM OBDII Driving cycle:
Do not leave the key in prior to the cold start or the heated oxygen sensor diagnostic may not run.

Some vehicles require very specific drive cycles (called "drive traces"
if you perform them on a road simulator or dyno) to activate certain
self-checks like the catalyst and EVAP monitors.
As a general rule, doing some stop-and-go driving around town at speeds
up to about 30 mph followed by five to seven minutes of steady 55 mph
highway speed driving will usually set most or all of the monitors.
Consequently, if you're checking an OBD II system and discover that one
or more of the monitors have not run, it may be necessary to test drive
the vehicle to set the remaining monitors.
You should talk to a good emission tec, if this is not throwing a code, it is hard to say if that one of the components could be bad. O2,pump,convert, HeO2, every part of the emission system.
With a 1000 miles, and doing what is says above just before the test, and ending driving at the test
should be plenty. If it is not, you will have to have each emission part checked, or when the computer
is plugged in it might show a code that did not trip dash light.
P1404 Is an EGR Code,Needs New EGR Valve & Check the vacuum port for excessive carbon or restrictions
SOURCE: Computer readiness will not reset. Will not pass insepection.
check all your fuses, there may also be a code about to set. the timeframe depends on your driving habits. or it could be the garage you are taking it to. ask them for a "drive cycle" printout. this is a form that explains the exact driving conditions for your vehicle to reset the monitors. you could also try taking it to autozone- they can tell you if it is ready or not.

If your engine light is coming on, then there is a code somewhere in the computer,it may be a pending code.Its possible your computer is bad. Have your computer tested.
