Default How do I fix misfiring

2006 Equinox
I just had to jumpstart my equinox to get it running it’s been sitting for around 2 months. I had emissions done today. Everything passes but it just needs drive time. Anyone have an idea on how many miles need to be driven for computer to reset and be able to get emissions to pass? Thanks, ap4u06

Those are trouble codes. He is talking about OBD readiness monitors. You have two incomplete ones. Find out which readiness tests they are.

But you will likely fail until you fix the random misfiring.

The misfires. I replaced the wires plugs. Not the coil pack. I did test the coil pack by removing one boot at a time and looking for the spark from boot to coil. Is there anything you can suggest on the misfire to maybe do. Wires were in car for a few years before I changed them
