    Paul, thanks for the video! I just replaced the evap canister and purge valve, but never thought about the gas cap... Nobody mentions that... Who thinks about maintaining the seals on the cap? I'm going to do that as well now after seeing your video!

    • @proclaimliberty2000

      Lubricate the seal on the cap first with teflon lubricant and well as cleaning the filler neck, drive it 50 miles and see if the light goes out. If it does not, then replace the entire gas cap with OEM replacement (as internal parts can also fail), drive another 50 miles and see if the light goes out. Let me know what happens.

      proclaimliberty2000 well, I wish I had seen your video first... I actually replaced the evaporator canister and evaporator solenoid. Reset the codes and it seems fine. But after seeing your video, I did do the maintenance on the fuel cap... Between those three things, I think it should be fixed... Maybe I could have saved some coin by just looking at the fuel cap, but now everything should be fine.
      It amazes me that nobody else said anything about fuel cap maintenance...
      Again, thanks for the video and advice!

    It’s a circuit code... not a performance code. Clearing the code on any Evap related code could take over a month to actually run its readiness monitor and set a code... and Evan isn’t even monitored in winter so you could have the light out for 6 months and have the same problem...I promise this code came back on eventually... more then likely it’s the purge valve canister vent control valve.

      He didn’t clear the code with a reader though, he did it with a drive cycle. So, in his case, it probably was just the gas cap. The vehicle would not have cleared the code if it was the purge valve and it wasn’t replaced. It doesn’t matter how long between monitorings, if you don’t clear a code, either with a reader or disconnecting the battery and draining the capacitor(s), the code remains until the issue is fixed.

    nice vid..one question: what if I have a combo p0440 & p0446? pep boys told me I need a charcoal canister replacement but I'm just skeptical..it's old though 2002 camry automatic 4 cylinder. I bought it off craigslist as a novice but the gas filler entry is just an uncovered insert hole...no push-in seal or anything....could that have anything to do with it?what would be your best guess? the gas pump also shuts off while pumping before finished..not always but after codes have been clear a couple weeks, the pump did it again and right after the pump shut off early, I left the gas station and the check engine light came back on again

      @mynamedoesnotmatter737 Рік тому +2

      If the gas pump shuts off due to pressure in the tank or poorly designed (or damaged) filler neck while fueling up, fuel can get in the overflow tube and go straight to the charcoal canister and eventually cause issues when it happens multiple times causing fuel to build up in the charcoal canister. Some gas stations pump to much too fast which can cause it too. That’s why it’s important to use the lowest setting on the pump lever or hold it, and never “top off” or overfill the fuel all the way in the neck because it can mess up the charcoal canister or evap system. Hope that info helps.
