    For what it's worth, the VSV is disconnected and not used for S/C installs. No codes thrown and passes emissions. You can always try just disconnecting it altogether and plugging the line into the manifold and looping the line on the canister. Should reset the brain after that and see what happens.

    I drove with the VSV's wiring disconnected & didn't thow any codes for almost a week.
    I didn't get the code @ autozone due the time,but tonight i'll bypass the canister by connecting together both hose lines to see if any code pops up,then do the same procedure with the VSV.
    I forgot to mention that i test the current output from the VSV wiring harness & noticed that the meter was reading 13+ volts instead of the 12v that the manual workshop states it should be running.
    Could that extra 1+ volt enough to fried up the vacuum solenoid valve.?
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I would think no and that the manual is just assuming a generic 12V system. The alternator output is somewhere between 13.5 and 14.5 volts.

    Today i drove to & from my work with the two hoses connected to the canister plugged together & no MIL pop up so far.

    I'll keep this set up to see if the MIL comes on & if it does get the code readed
