i have a 99 mitsubishi eclipse 70000 miles and i cant pass emisions.the
car runs fine. whenever i go  i get rejected beccause my inputs such as
CAT, CATHEAT,EVAP, AIR, AC, 02S,0S2HEAT, AND EGR are not ready. i
figured this was happening because i recently worked on my car and the
battery had to be uninstalled and the pcm needs some time to read all
the sensors and inprint them to its memory but this has been happening
for about a month now with the system still not being ready. im
wondering if this is possiblly a problem with the pcm or because my
speed sensor connector is damaged(when i was switching tranny it got
crushed) so possibly the pcm thinks the car is standing still and is
not imprinting this to its memory. is this a possible cause of being
rejected from emisiions or is it just a bad pcm. is it possible that
the VSS can affect the pcm remembering the input sensors. any thoughts
are appreciated

The PCM needs a speed signal for certain monitors to run.
This is for Ford, most other manufacturers are similar;

you might drive by a jr. college vocational auto shop, and ask the guys
there for some help.
