Depending how old your vehicle is, the catalyst monitor might be allowed to remain incomplete and the vehicle still pass the smog inspection. Currently 1999 and older gasoline powered vehicle's are allowed one incomplete monitor.

How do you fix an EVAP system not ready?

if the evap monitor is not ready, verify that your fuel cap is tight and the level of fuel is between 1/4 and 3/4 full. if all the other monitors are ready, then do a couple more "cold" starts.

How do I get my EVAP monitor ready?

Start the engine and idle for four minutes, then drive in stop-and-go traffic for five minutes using smooth accelerations and decelerations. Stop and idle for 4 minutes. The EVAP monitor should be complete.
