2002 toyota 4runner 302,450 miles auto
Hi, I have the above suv and the scan tool reads... the catalyst is not ready? I recently replaced the timing belt thus disconnecting the battery and the front Cat was replaced 4 years ago with a Walker Cat. The rear Cat was replaced a few days ago with another Walker Cat. I was told, by my exhaust installer to drive the car at {black}:idontknow: high rpms for 30 min (which I've done) and keep driving the car until it cycles several times to reset the catalyst and it's yet to happen. Thoughts?
thank you,
mark

Without the actual code and possibly some relevant live data to go with it there's not much we can suggest.
On the other hand, if it's a case of the catalyst showing up as not ready in the I/M readiness monitor you need to perform the drive cycle that the manufacturer specifies for your vehicle. (It can take forever with random driving around.) In some cases the drive cycle has to be done in a specific order for all of the readiness monitors to be satisfied.
