Got the dreaded P1457 Evaporative Emissions System (Canister) code on my 2000 Accord 4 cylinder. I've done tons of net searching and have found extensive text instructions on troubleshooting, but I'm stumped because I need diagrams and component location info.

Does anyone know where I can find pictures of component locations, vacuum/wiring diagrams, etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Online manuals thread DIY section. The spoon honda link in there has a 98-02 shop manual as an iso file.

 

Autozone also has decent information on your accord.

good luck

 

Thanks. Not to sound too dumb, but what kind of program do I need (what do I need to do) to open an "ISO" file?

TexasHonda, thanks for the AutoZone reminder. I've found them to be "hit and miss" in the past, but I'll check out what they've got.

 

Apparantly you have to burn that to a CD before it becomes usable. I haven't done that since I had an actual Helm book when I owned a '98.

 

Download daemon tools lite from cnet...

This program creates a "virtual" cd/dvd drive. Then you right click it in the system tray and choose "mount." Then open my computer and it will look like the disc is in your "virtual" disk drive. You can open the disk that way instead of having to actually burning it.
