More info... What year is your integra? What's the code number? Generally there's a handful of components to check, plus it might be bad wiring connections somewhere. Of these, maybe one is a common failure, but check to be sure before replacing a $50 valve...

If it's EVAP purge flow, that sounds like you have an OBD-2 car. (OBD-1 doesn't measure for that.) Hopefully someone with a Helm book can say...

Tighten your gas cap and reset the ECU.

They changed the EVAP system a LOT between my '95 & your '96. In '95 they didn't even HAVE a code 92. So you probably want to get your hands on a Helm book for your car. It'll have a pretty detailed procedure for checking out each piece of that system.
