Default P0116, MIL on.........t-stat stuck open(got one,need to replace), question about readyness monitors

i get 3 incomplete(possibly not supported):
-catalyst
-O2 sensor
-EGR
5 ready:
-missfire
-fuel
-comprehensive
-evap
-O2 sensor heater monitor

I remember hooking up the car to our emission machine (before the MIL) and i believe 3 were not supported, 5 were ready...can't take the car to work anymore so i gotta figure it out on my own.
Does anyone knows what monitors are used and what aren't?
96 A6 quattro(AFC)...gotta get it PA inspected.
TIA

Default

Replace the t-stat to fix what's actually broken. Then erase the codes and go do some driving.

Default I guess I don't know what you mean by monitors.

Are you talking about what the emmission test machine is looking at......and it's looking to see that your car's computer has re-set certain onboard checks, like for the cats, the O2 sensors, evap, secondary air injection, coolant temp sensor, etc.?

If so, then to re-set those, you either need to run through the proceedure for resetting them during a test drive, or go out and put some around town and highway miles on the car and they'll reset as you drive it.
