So i was on my way to get my hair cut, when i pulled in a spot and shut the car off. the data display to me to check my gas cap (CEL was off at this point). so i took it off and put it back on and went into the salon. i came back out and turned the car on and the CEL was lit. so i figured it was an EVAP code. later i went to autozone to get the code read and it was for a "large EVAP leak". i know it isn't the gas cap so i guess its in the tubes? maybe the canister?

Does anyone have any experience with this or a similar code??

thanks

 

i think i read on here that it means ur evap canister back by ur tank is bad....

 

ohh wierd it would just happen randomly

bump for any more opinions?

 

Could be the evap purge valve as well, I do seem to recall a lot of people reporting the same issue.

 

yeah but i thought that was for the small leak code....the large leak code was the main canister by the tank?

 

well i unplugged the battery for 15 minutes so it cleared the code and i took it out for a spin. the light did not come back on. idk what is was, but also if there was i leak wouldnt i smell gasoline around the car?

 

I just had this issue....it was my throttle body spacer. Do you have one?

 

im not sure. if its stock, i do. my engine is completely stock

 

No...you don't have one then. Pull off the evap line at the throttle body and see if you are getting suction. The TB has a small little hole it draws the evap system on...may be clogged.
