    I have a long drive either tomorrow or Wednesday, so gonna try and get it fixed tomorrow. If I can't get it fixed, does anyone know if it's ok to drive it like this? It reminds me of the older cars where they didn't have the vents and you take the gas cap off and ppsshhhhhhhhhh!! This is what mine is doing. Are these items easily cleaned or replaced?

    AND!! I have done everything I can to get Tone's CD manual to run and I can't. It keeps telling me to put the CD in, and it's there. I also have all the files loaded on the PC.
    You can drive the VX with no problem,is doesn't harm the performance,but if you got to inspected it wouldn't pass emission test,that's all
    Dakar was just the begining.

    Just purchased the parts from Marvin, a canister and valve for a little over $200. I decided to crawl under it yesterday and do the replacement and the check engine light goes off! This truck is playing with me. It did get warmer and I wonder whether temp may play a part in this saga. So, my plan is to drive around with the parts in the back seat cause I know the moment I put them in the garage the check engine light will come back on.

    Hahahaha that's so funny though.

    Actually,after replacing the canister my engine lit was still popping on,however,after my mech worked on the engine the lit didn't came on any more.

    Now,there's something you got to know,you must replace both vent solenoids the one located at the rear & the other located right under where the intake pipe conects to the intake manifold.

    I'll also go almost tank empty to eliminate all vapors in the fuel tank before the ECU is reset.
