Default CEL code 90 Evap system

Hey I searched and found some minimal info on the topic, but there was a post in the Integra forums about it so i just replied there, but since i have a civic, maybe you guys could help me out a lil more.

I just got this code after i swapped my O2 sensors (had codes for those). I made sure the gas cap is on tight and everyhting. The light did come on when i had a low tank, should i try resetting the ECU after I fill up? After i swapped teh O2 sensors and did oil change while i was at it, it took about 30 miles of driving for the CEL to come on.

I have to pass smog in a couple days, if i have to can i just reset the ECU and take it there before the CEL goes off again?

Is you car an obd2? if so, your o2 sensors need to build a memory before you can take it through smog. If you reset it right before you go through, the diagnostics computer will say o2 sensors not ready. Same with the EVAP btw.

how long before they build memory, because the last time I smogged it, it was reset and driven for a maximum of liek 50-60 miles and it still passed(we had to buy a new gas cap at the place).
