have been having the hardest time getting rid of these two codes and i need to smog asap!!

P1000 obd2 not ready, i drove the car all around today probably 50-60 miles, did city driving, freeway driving, slow cruising steady throttle, no WOT.

still cant get the code to go away.

p1443 is the evap. Low/no flow detected. This one is super irritating. before driving all day today, i have a buddy with a same year 97 cobra and he never got the CEL for this. So i borrowed his gas cap, i borrowed his evap sensor under the hood, i replaced the solenoid with a used one, i jumped it to a battery and heard it open, i sprayed inside too with carb cleaner to clean it out.

I pulled off the vacuum lines to the canister to the solenoid to the sensor to the engine, leak tested them in soapy water and compressed air. None seemed to leak. had a used canister and tried replacing it with that one too. Still am getting the codes. I CANNOT figure this out. I've done them all in steps too. tried gas cap, didnt work, gave a different sensor and solenoid a try, nope. Compressed air through lines made sure no clogs or leaks, i dont know how to test a canister but jesus F. Need some help asap thanks

Smoking the car would really help vs using compressed air. The smoke will seep out from anywhere and that will help you.

If your ever in the sac area. Let me know. Bring it by my shop. Ill smoke it for you. It's probably going to be something really small

Does your car feel like its lost power at all?

Also, have you tried the Purge Flow Sensor? I wouldn't try a use one. These are very common for failing

Are you the type that will over fill your gas that by clicking the pump more and more? If so, the cannister could be bad. The cannisters usually don't fail unless people top off excessively. I see it alot. Especially on chryslers
