Hi, hf. I have a honda accord 1998 v6. The engine light cmturned on. The code it given is p1457. Does anyone have a similar situation? Any help on which piece should I change?

 

Moved to the correct forum thread..Right Here.

 

This will take some testing.....gas cap, shut or two way valve are all in play.

Have some time and the tools to test?

 

P1457 is leak detected in EVAP control system (EVAP control canister system). Although it may be something else on the canister side of the EVAP system, some of the usual culprits are the EVAP bypass solenoid valve or the EVAP vent shut valve.

If it was the gas cap, that would be P1456, leaked detected in EVAP Control System (Fuel Tank System).

Thankz guy. Poorman212 I do have the tools and time to test. I found a full canister set for about $50. Should I buy and replace mine or test?

 

Well I'm a fan of testing things before replacing.

One thing you might want to do is get a shop manual for this car. I'm not putting them down but I am NOT talking about a haynes or chilton book.......go someplace like automanualsource dot com and get one.

If you live in a place where rust is an issue, the two screws/bolts that hold the shut valve to the canister get rusted and become a real pain to remove.

 

Did you figure out where the leak was?

 

Not yet. I have been really busy. But I am looking to replace the whole canister piece.

 

Isnt it almost always the Vent Shut Valve(17310-S0X-A0) that needs to be replaced? I agree that its almost always worth testing but in this case, it usually is a safe bet. Its cheap, not hard to do, and will most likely go bad at some point.

 

No, it is not almost always the vent shut valve. See post #4 above and the links.
