Hi droberts1960,

Thank you for the donation.

It is possible something had been dislodged or damaged or just coincidence.

Get a free scan done at Autozone and let me know the trouble code so we can zoom in on the item that is causing the problem.

the code that came up was p0497, faulty purge selenoid sensor or vent selenoid and something about evap system. Where are these located and are they difficult to change?

Awesome! Thank you! I'm just heading out of work but will check my home email when I get in.

I went to inspection station to get my car inspected and vecause that light was on they failed me.

It's been coming on and off the last 2 months. Usually after I get gas but that could be just a coincidence. It may be because I started it up this AM and went back inside to get my stuff. The car sat there idling for about 10 minutes so that could be drawing the light on too. If I drive it for a few days it'll go back off for a while.
