Edit: Never mind - my mechanic just told me that here in GA a '97 can have up to two monitors not complete and still pass!!

I just got a P0430 code (Catalyst Over Threshold); this happens every year or two and I usually just reset it using my code reader and everything is fine. However, this time I am having a problem. While the P0430 code is not recurring, the catalyst monitor is not resetting so far, so I have a P1000 code and cannot pass the emission check. Unfortunately, my birthday is approaching so I really need to get my emissions check so I can renew my registration. I have driven it at least 100 miles of mixed driving since erasing the code; all other monitors have reset.

Accordingly, does anyone have any suggestions on getting this particular monitor to reset.. Any/all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance!
 












Turdle - Thanks!! Good info to have.
