Evap emissions issue: First check fuel cap is there and correct one but probably a problem up front with a flooded/fuel wet canister not burning up the just the vapors it catches or overwhelmed with fuel?


Look around and smell for fuel odor and anything unhooked or rusted out that would carry fuel vapor - metal lines even if rusty be a problem.


Just maybe it's been overfilled with fuel too much and might clear itself - can't say but if you did or do that a lot it could be a reason,

That is a purge during non purge code. First thing you should try is unplugging the canister purge valve electrical connector and the line that goes to the charcoal canister. With the engine running you shouldn't have any vacuum on the purge valve nipple you disconnected the line from. If you do, the valve is faulty.

Note: when you disconnect the electrical connector there will probably be a purge valve circuit code that will trigger.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.
