My check engine light has been on for years. Every year at "inspection time" I

So, I replaced the gas cap, and earlier, the solenoid purge valve. After the new gas cap was put on, I did NOT get gas, as sometimes that's what sets the engine light to go on. I immediately went to a station again, for inspection. As I pulled in, the check engine light went on (thank you!). When mechanic did diagnostics, all five emissions codes appeared, even for the solenoid that was replaced. The mechanic told me I had to do the "self drive test". I just drove the car on highway, averaging 60 mph, for an hour. When I got home, I googled OBD self test instructions, only to learn the the car should have 30-70 percent of gas in the tank. As I was driving on empty the hour before, I filled it up before making that long drive (unbeknownst to me at that time that car should be 30-70). So, now what? I obviously messed up step no 1 of the self test! Even after an hours drive, that little car is STILL on full. Any suggestions? PS. I was able to get a "10 day extension" from the mechanic.

don't really worry about the order you drive it in...just drive it,around town,stop and go,interstate,heat on, heat off,A/C on,A/C off!! just drive it a few days,see what happens. maybe all of them will set? i know you have different standards in NY than we do in NC,i believe the same as CA emissions for NY.here in Gaston County in NC,we can have 2 monitors not ready on a 2000 down to 1996,so i only need 6 of 8 monitors set! 1995 and older they don't have emissions testing,only safety checks>>tires,wipers,lights and so on. 3 miles down the road in SC,they have NO emissions or safety,nothing,you just buy a sticker for your tag once a year...good luck with yours!

Okay, thank you so much for your quick response! I will post the outcome
