what's your year, model and the exact codes? No worries. After replacing nearly the entire evaporation system, the light is now off. Expensive way to go about it, but it's off. It is a GS400, 1998. Can't remember the code right now, but it supposably says the Evaportation System is messed up. Bottom line - the lights off :D Thanks anyway.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated. I have a 98 GS 400 and recently the check engine light came on. My mechanic ran the diagnostics and replaced the purge control valve. The light came back on shortly there after. He then replaced the Evap Canister - not a cheap venture, and the check engine light came back on again. He mentioned the possibility of changing the computer, but at over $3,000 this is not something I'm willing to do. The car has 105K miles. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks, Ari

Okay, what do I do when they've replaced the Evap Canister, Purge Control Valve and the Check Engine light comes on within hours again with the same codes? Could it be something simple? Faulty Sensor? Old Gas Cap? I've spent $1100 so far and don't feel like spending $3,000 on a new computer - something they've already mentioned. Any and all help would be appreciated...

Thanks. I had the Purge Control Valve replaced, but the check engine light came back on within 8 hours. I'm guess that means they'll be replacing the canister as well now. I heard this means dropping the transaxle on the GS 400. Is this right? Thanks, Ari

I was wondering how this went? Did you get it fixed? My 1998 GS400 with 104K miles just got the same error code. Is there any place aside from the dealer to get a new Purge Control Valve? Thanks, Ari
