Warm up cycles before drive cycles?

[NightmareMoon]

Can you complete drive cycles for emissions readiness with just two warmup drive cycles after a tune, or do we need some amount of warm up cycles before the car will do a drive cycle?

I think I have a like 5 warm ups but after an hour plus of trying yo get SOMEthing, ANYthing to clear I couldn’t get Evap, Catalyst or O2 to clear. Intake temps in the 80s, coolant temps 180 and up. Cruised at 60mph for at least 30 minutes. Then stop and go from stop through 25-45 at different speeds for over 30 min.

This is all after a motor swap. No codes at all. Wengerd tune.

I hate drive cycles.

Here is a description for auto trans; sounds like a PITA.

I did this recently and it took 4 ~20 minute drives for all but evap. Evap takes longer but isn’t required in my state.
