Thanks Fix Kick,
I cleared the error codes. The other day when driving for a while, I turned off the car and removed the gas cap and heard the "whoosh", so thats a good sign.
The error codes have not turned back on (I've driven the car over 50 miles since....how long before the car recognizes the error again?)
For the valve purge test outlined in the manual - I removed the hoses and the connector, and I tried blowing air into one of the nipples (the one that connects to the evap cannister). Air was able to go through the valve purge. This means that it is faulty, correct? With the connector and hoses disconnected, the manual states I should not be able to blow through it.
Using a multi-meter, the resistance measured @ 35 ohms, which is within range.
I'll go ahead an order a valve purge unit just to be on the safe side.
