CEL Code
So, I got my car onto a reader and got a code, looked it up on the forum and "P1457 Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Leakage (EVAP Canister System)" can someone tell me just what that means?

Re: CEL Code (TheMaroonAvenger)
Your evaporative emissions system has a leak on the canister side, which is basically a leak in the evap system between the fuel tank and the engine. There may not be a leak like air leaking from a punctured tire, but rather one of the solenoids or valves is not working properly. It could be a bad canister vent shut valve, or evap purge control solenoid or...
If it was a leak on the tank system it would likely be a loose or bad gas cap. Aftermarket gas caps would cause a tank side leak too. At any rate, break out the Helms and consult the troubleshooting flow chart, or go the dealer and have them do an evap system function test with the HDS(Honda Diagnostic System).

Should've figured to crack open the Helms, just wasn't even sure what system it was a part of, found the leak easy enough, in one of the vacuum lines to the manifold. Thanks a bunch.
