EVAP vent valve and solenoid help!!

Post by KVH2002 »

I have replaced the vent valve and purge solenoid and even cleaned the rust off around the gas cap (which didn't seem to me to be enough to cause a leak) and my service engine soon light is still on. Any suggestions or other causes? :???:

A code would be helpful, the service engine light itself doesnt tell us much
