I am not available for phone call the site offers that automatically the code is for an EVAP leak and it can be many different problems a smoke machine is needed to properly diagnose it the 2 way valve is by far the most common failure you can see in the test info below which confirmed repairs are most common you will need the testing performed and have it put on smoke machine to pinpoint the issue. [https://peapull.com/o/1613578024.pdf](https://peapull.com/o/1613578024.pdf) the 2 way valve followed by a bad gas cap are the two most common failures but can be mainy things like tank or evap canister as well which is why smoke machine test is required this runs between $100-130 at shop for the smoke test. If you need more help just reply, and let me know. Thank you, Paul
