Take it over to Autozone. They'll scan it for you for free. Come back with the code and we shall see what you have.

So here are the two codes recovered today by AZ :P0455 EVAP Control System Gross LeakP1448 EVAP Canister Vent Control Valve Open

I'm leaning toward the solenoid valve as the root of my problem. Let me know what ya think. I am unfamiliar with this EVAP system so I will start my homework while I await a response. Any danger in driving it like this?

So just wanted to go on record saying that changing the cannister and vent valved solved my problem (yes I did break both vent valve bolts....terrible design)....changed the gas cap as well...no stone unturned!Anyway, the description on how to access the codes and reset computer worked like a charm...need to be very precise on ones timing here.Thanks to everyones help and this forum. Saved me a bunch of time and headaches. I'll continue to use this site as the need arises!
