car did not pass inspection?
hey guys, posted it in general, but wanted your opinions also: I had off from work today so I decided to take the car for inspection. (2001 vert) Havent used it all winter, so the battery had been dead and I installed a new one. Everything was beautiful. Warmed it up, and drove it to the inspection center. I pass everything, (my car is mint with only 26k miles) and they say I failed cause my computer wont talk to thiers. Its says it is not ready? They then told me that if you disconnect or install a new battery, it takes at least 100 miles of driving for the computer to get c02 levels, emissions, etc..... is this true?? my cars check engine light has never come on, and it always runs amazing. Any ideas?? Thanx!so:

Don't worry. Once the car cycles a few times the I/M readiness codes will set and you'll be in buisness.

thanx guys for all the posts. you guys are right, the computer completely reset itself, i had to reprogram everything all over again. I guess I'll take it out off winter hibernation, find a good day, and just drive. Its just annoying that I have to take it back there, and have those random guys get into and outoff my car 
Thankyou everyone!!!!!
