So.....its sounds like I'll be taking it to my indi shop in the Spring, when it comes out of winter storage. Probably will need to replace at least the canister and possibly a new purge valve too.

What's strange is that I've had the CEL and this code a couple of times over the years and haven't done any repairs and eventually the CEL "magically" didn't come on again.....until the other day after overfilling the fuel tank recently.

I'm not a DIY so off to an indi it will go in the Spring.

The only "good news" is that since I have what the state calls an "Illinois Expanded Antique" license plate (for 25+ year old cars) I am NOT REQUIRED to get a bi-annual emissions test, where any sort of CEL will cause a failure of the test until fixed.
