Our '03 CRV threw a couple of codes a while ago; I misread the P1457 as an O2 sensor error (apparently it is on BMW's but not Honda--how that works I don't get, they're supposed to be standardized, no?). Apparently it's an evap code. So the last time it set the code I went to check the gas cap, see if the seal was bad. The tank promptly vented, as it had been sitting for a few days outside, in the sun and whatnot--so I think the cap is fine, and much of the system is holding, but either it's a sensor, valve or wiring problem.
I'm on the fence if I should just find a shop and have them look at it? I don't mind tossing a part or two at it, but I don't even have a scanner for this vehicle, let alone some what to pressurize nor smoke test this system. I read a few threads online about this and it sounded like this was a pain in the rear to fix--not sure I want to pay a shop to fix, but at the same time, it sounds like it is out of my league.
What are the odds it's a simple part to swap out?
