I don't notice any performance loss or anything. Will this do any permanent damage to the vehicle? I just don't have the money yet to have it fixed, and I'm definatly not dropping the tank to change the valve. (i did troubleshooting and seems like that is the solonoid that is bad) Someone said its common in states where they use salt for the roads. I am talking about a civic si, but you guys always have the answers

Nothing will happen if you let it go. Just indicating evap leak only.

Yes, your car will self destruct after 5,000 miles with that code!
O.K., you will be fine. It just indicates a leak in the EVAP system; some people have been known to disable the EVAP system altogether. It's bad for the environment though

 

ok nice...if i reset the computer the light stays out for a week or so and then comes back on. So i hope i can get an inspection when the light is off. Thanks guys

 

if you are refering to emissions testing, just make sure you dont have a pending code, cuz i have the same code and before the check engine light comes on a pending code appears with my scan tool.

good luck

thanks for everyone help already.
but what valve? evap valve on the top of the intake manifold? or the vent valve
on the top of the canister?
either way, i am going to test them today.

 

Mine was the valve on the canister. Hope that helps.

 

anyway to test if the valve is bad or do i just have to buy one and see if its bad.

 

go through the diagnostic procedure in the HELM manual...p1457 codes can be the WORST...could by anything from a stock valve to a broken wire to anything
