Re: service engine soon light

Your car will not pass inspection if you live in a emissions state. Clearing the code might work for a short time but if the fault is still there it will come back very soon, and will come back immediately when the inspector hooks up the car to the inspection machine. EVAP problems are not hard to fix once you get familiar with your cars system. There should be a an evap system directory on a sticker under your hood, or purchase a Haines repair manual for about $20. from an auto store. Most of the evap problems are related to a purge solenoid malfunction or a broken or clogged evap line near the evap canister. I had two Nissans with clogged evap lines near the canister from moth nests. If you have any other codes repair the evap codes first.
