EVAP system low purge flow - (From AutoZone)

possible causes are:
Faulty purge solenoid, Faulty vent solenoid, Faulty FTP senor

Few Questions... Has anyone else dealt with this issue? Any problems with "ignoring it" for a few months until I the weather warms and I can deal with it?

I do have a Honda shop manual which seems to do a good job of detailing the troubleshooting / repair process... It's just not going to get done anytime soon.

Car is an 05 EX, bone stock, w/ 140K on it.

Thanks

I have the same code. I don't know what to do though

Update:

Talked with 2 friends I know who are much more knowledgeable w/ regard to these EVAP systems... Both said that there was a good chance the light would go out, on its own, after filling the tank. Apparently (and I'm trying to paraphrase their words here) there needs to be enough air in the tank combined with a faulty purge or vent solenoid or FTP sensor to throw the code. By filling up, you remove the air and the code may go off. So, I depleted enough gas to force me to the local station, filled up, cycled the motor 3 or so times (normal commute/driving) sure enough the code went off.

I'm now around 1/2 tank (which is where I was when the code was originally thrown) and waiting to see what happens next... Hopefully (but doubtfully) it was a fluke and I'm good to go...

FWIW, both said that the code was an annoyance and would not effect drivability. I'll let you know if it comes back and what my course of action is. Wish me luck...
