I have a CEL and im coming with code 1457, ive replaced the purge solenoid, but i guess that's not it, and i dont see any other leaks, so im thinking its the canister vent shut valve from what i've read... but where is it? and is it easy to replace?

its a 2 pin plug, the valve is mounted to the top of the charcoal canister

I'll see if I can get a pic...

that code can mean a few things, leak in any of the evap hoses, a clog in any of the hoses, gas cap loose etc

thanks.. so im guessing it's easy to fix?

thanks.. seems easy to replace

damn, that thing is expensive.. $80 just for the little valve?

Wazup

i called my local honda dealership and they said i have buy the whole canister... does that sound right?

Are you sure it's the vent shut valve, because that code you got can mean a few different things, check for leaks in the hoses

you can buy just the valve anyway:

What vehicle did you enter in the search function on that site? when i put in my car, they only sell the canister as a whole.
