I've read through the posts on this topic (not many) and have still not found a good possible solution. The car has the code for "small leak in evap system" and I've changed gas cap checked lines to and fro canister there is no gas smell. The car seems to idle a little rough (not to bad) but what I'm hopping for is for some of these guys who had this prob. who posted in the past to chime in and post up how they Finally fixed it. Thanks.

Hahaha like me?

Anyhow, Check all your fuel lines (if you really wanna make sure they aren't leaking replace them with Stainless Steel lines). If that doesn't do it, then you can clear the code on your car if you have a reader or get some shop or a buddy who has a reader to clear it for you.

Before you do that, do an ECU reset (simply disconnect your battery for 20 mins) and see if the code is still there.

Thanks for the replies. I already reset the ecu it comes back in a couple of days. I guess it could actually be the charcoal canister its self but not likely. I think it's more likely to be a solenoid or something.

check for a vacuum leak. sometimes the non turbo car ECU's get confused on which code to throw
