PO442 & Texas Emission test
My 2001 RX300 cel came on and the error code was PO442. The gas cap was replaced and the code was cleared. I went for the Texas Inspection and the inspector stated that his computer said that the RX not been driven enough.
He said everything was OK but I had to put more miles on the RX. This was Saturday. I drove it Sunday and went back to complete the inspection today but his computer said the same thing. I drove it at least 60 miles over the weekend.
How many miles do I have to drive the RX before the Texas Inspection computer is happy? The inspector said this happens frequently.
Thanks

It takes combination of things
Number of engine stars and stops.
Requires driving at 45MPH or more for a while/distance.
Drive around and go back after 4/5 days.
