1999 Honda Accord EX V-6 132862 miles, check engine light came on, code read p1457 possible causes loose fuel cap, vapor canister saturated, failed vent solenoid or failed purge solenoid. Changed the fuel cap and reset the engine light. Fine for awhile light came back on. My questions is what do you think the problem is? My parts store doesn't sell the vent or purge solenoid so do I get those from the dealer? Thanks for any help you can give

Hi bones2782,

There are a few test that you need to carry out to confirm what is wrong.

DTC P1457: EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM LEAKAGE (EVAP CANISTER SYSTEM)

NOTE: The fuel system is designed to allow specified maximum vacuum and pressure conditions. Do not deviate from the vacuum and pressure tests as indicated in these procedures. Excessive pressure/vacuum would damage the EVAP components or cause eventual fuel tank system failure.

Special Tools Required
Vacuum pump/gauge, 0-30 in. Hg A973X-041-XXXXX
Suitable tester/scanner.
