I did this fix the same way on my Spyder on account of gas fumes in the cabin. Your issue (;same as mine) is evident at 7:13, the bushing between the tank and the check valve is cracked. Once the new gasket was put in no more fumes.
Just replaced this on my 2001 spyder and it’s a royal pain in the ass. Although a lot of steps were skipped this video still helped me out so many thanks. Hope it takes care of code p0440. Next is replacing the pre cat.
Great video, thanks for posting. Just got a 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder on 6/1/18 and I already have the Check Engine Light with an occasional gas odor from the drivers side while driving. The fuel fill flange was replaced. I'm going to get a scanner to check the OBDII code, but initial code was P0440 (at automotive store reader). This car only has 28K miles on OEM parts. But I suspect that I have cracks in the fill check valve gasket. Did you replace or clean out any other parts to resolve this CEL? Thx!
Hello mike thanks for watching and subscribing, this is my 9th mr2, 3rd spyder, my last spyder had same evap CEL and it was a result of a bad connector to one of the sensor (by the stock air box/maf) where the vacuum hose was supposed to connect to..well it wasnt connected since the connection port was broken. For this MR2, i have replaced new oem gas cap, checked the same sensor i replaced on my last mr2, cleaned maf... so far, it didnt help, so i am hoping this will fix it, it is very promising. Good luck with yours, hope this video helps!
@@TeslaDIY Appreciate that, I've had a p0442 for ages now. Professionals can't find it, but I noticed I have the same cracking in the gasket, so I thought I'd replace it.
@@JoBianco i forgot if i replaced the whole thing (lazy to rewatch my video) but if the check valve itself isn't expensive, just replace it since getting to it is a bit of an effort, you dont want to do just the gasket to find out it didn't fix it, and have to take everything back out to replace the valve again.

So did this resolve your CEL issue?
actually, it did, but then now i have misfiring codes haha
Did this fix it?
it did for me, but P0440 can be trigger by many other things, go from the smallest, easiest fix and work your way down to the more difficult task

Should I replace the whole check valve or just the gasket?

@@TeslaDIY You did replace it and at least now it's moderately expensive (like everything else)
Good video but you skipped so many parts and showed the easy way which is dumb af because I just tried this and it's not that easy
