Well, unfortunately for me, the correct "charcoal vapor canister" part (based on my VIN number) goes for about $1,000.

(note: The car is stored away for the winter so my conversation with my "indi" was just a conversation without actually scanning the car.)

Additionally, my "indi" suggests a couple of valves in the system should probably also be replaced at the same time because "they too are 25 yrs old, possibly problematic and as long as we're in there......".

I'm wondering if professional scanning equipment (much better than my little hand scanner) will also determine if those valves are working properly? Or, as the "indi" suggested, it was best to just replace the canister and the associated valves adjacent to the canister at the same time. (the valves are not very expensive (relatively speaking).
