[QUOTE="4play, post: 1806109, member: 7223"] Do you have the actual code number? From your description it sounds like you have a problem with the vent/purge side of the EVAP system. I would probably start with a visual inspection, looking for kinked lines etc. Locate the charcoal canister and remove the electric solenoid/valve (canister vent solenoid/valve). Check the valve in that you can blow air through it, also check the rubber line for air flow too, this rubber line is just a vent and should flow air freely. The solenoid valve is normally open so it should flow air too when unplugged or removed. What I have seen on a few vehicles is the solenoid valve will get stopped up or seized. There is a filter inside the cap on this valve that can get clogged with debris and block flow. I have also found debris clogged in the vent line that is mounted to the solenoid/valve. [/QUOTE]
