I just replaced the PCM and O2 sensor on my 1997 Mazda Protege. I cleared the computer, still came up with the P1195 error code, went to get the emmissions tested anyway and the system wasn't ready. I need to take it through it's drive cycle. What is the drive cycle for this car?

Thank you so much!

Hello ..thanks for the donation ... much appreciated Hope this helps Drive Cycle-Mode 1 Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Ensure all electrical and A/C loads are off. Ensure ignition timing and idle speed are within specification. Adjust as necessary. See BASIC TESTING - 1.8L article. Ensure no jumper wires are connected to DLC. Increase engine RPM to specified speed. See Fig. 2 . Operate engine at specified RPM for minimum of 15 seconds. Idle engine for more than 20 seconds with cooling fan disabled.
