EVAP code

Car threw an EVAP code. After I fuel up it takes 2 or 3 cranks, then it runs fine. I can't fox this for a few weeks cuz im 1200 miles from home. Will this have any problems if I don't fix it right away? Also would unplugging my eval purge solenoid have any negative effects? Any help would be awesome.

The code. or take Ure purge out and blow in it. If you can blow in it then the valve is bad. Which if Ure havibg hard cranks its bad.

dealers on crack order on line... The purge solenoid is bad period, Reason it acts up bad after fueling is its sucking in fumes and ect from the evap system. And running the car with the bad purge causes fouled plugs and ect and cels. So id get it fixed quick!! Its not a major thing but it does cause issues!!

Mine appears to be bad too. Took the one off the manifold and blew in it and it doesn't let any air through, so I'm guessing it's the back. You guys have the part number?

Probably a bad evap canister and solenoid. And also a bad 02 sensor. Not 100% tho just taking a guess.

took my to the dealer about a month ago, and replaced the evap line that goes from the engine to the evap canister in the rear. under warranty, no issues or engine light at the moment. The part was on back order and it took 2 weeks to get it. Dealer said It was ok to drive at that time and will not hurt anything.

Prior to that, I drove the car for a month or so with the engine light on. no drivability issues but did smell a hint of fuel ordor.
