I doubt the canister was actually the problem. If the problem still exists it will take a few ignition cycles for it to show the code again.

The solenoid is back in front of the spare. The new one looks nothing like the old one. The old one was a box and the new one is round.

When I got in and test drove it this morn, I hadn't gone 1/4 mile and I got the msg "Tighten Gas Cap" (which I had never gotten before. I drove to the gas station and topped off, about a 1/4 tank, then back home. No msgs.

Then we put about 225 miles on it. Start and stopped multiple times, No msgs yet. I haven't filled the tank again yet, I'm down to about 1/2 right now.
I'm taking it on a trip Memorial Day weekend, about 500 miles.

I guess we will see.

As far as the Solenoid goes, all I saw was a BIG box (size of a shoe box), but it didn't really look like a solenoid. It was above the axle between the Tank and the Spare tire.

Hmmm.

So, my Check Engine Light came back on after about 250 more miles.
I know one of you guys said it would.

So I crawled under there today and took a pic.
This is what I have under there. You can see the Canister, which I already replaced, in the upper left. This GIANT box is almost directly over the rear diff. It has multiple lines going into it, with the fuel line connections, but it does not have any electrical wires going to it.

Sooo, wtf?????

I found the Solenoid that I showed earlier. Its on the Intake.
I was looking near the tank... I was WAY off! I am also wondering if this is going to solve my problem. I'm guessing not.
To date, I have replaced:
The Evap Purge Solenoid
The Evap Canister,
The Fuel Cap.

Time will tell.
