2000 Acord LX Engine Light code P1457
few month ago, "check engine light" came on. Honda dealer diagnosed (tech
pulled evap leak code P1457) and checked the car and did not find anything wrong (2x), just reset the light and replaced the gas cap. On my third visit, (wander why it took so long) they found: Sticking vent shut valve and canister, and gave me price $375 to fix it. I do some work on my car. I think I found the valve under the car, just in front of the gas tank, next to the fuel pump. It does not look like a big job to change it. Anybody did this before and are there any tricks I should be aware of? How much are the parts (vacuum canister solenoid valve and possibly the canister itself, if it should be replaced too? Thanks for any help. |

Ask you dealer to print this out for you.

Some people manage to get TSB repairs for free. This depends on your dealer, and your relationship with that dealer. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Thanks a lot Tegger. > > > Excellent! Two thumbs up! Thanks for the update. The P1457 problem is very common and is due to EPA mandates. I'd ordinarily say it's too bad the automakers have to soak up the costs imposed on them by the EPA, but Honda is so overweeningly enviro-weenie-ish I figure it serves them right. -- Tegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
