Found out why i can not get one monitor ready on the KIa. - EVAP system is because the EVAP canister close valve is shot (PN 314301D500)
I have no check engine light, nor any pending codes, and the car runs fantastic while pulling a respectable average of 28 1/2 miles to the gallon and up to 34+ on highway in 6th gear.
But, since i now know its not working correctly, and i have just 1 evap monitor not ready - i'd like to fix it to get all monitors ready.
31430 "C" on the diagram is the part I am talking about, and i see OEM is about 67$. Can i go aftermarket on a part like this should i stick with OEM? I dont have an issue paying OEM prices, if i replace it once, and its good to go, VS a aftermarket where it might only work for a year or 2, but it appears to be a basic part so im thinking aftermarket would be okay. The kia dealer wated about $194+ to replace, and well as you can see i passed, but they did inform me that this was the only "issue" and still gave it a clean bill of health with no repairs needed atm, minus the Evap that i "should" address sometime.
