I was the code for a small evap leak again. We looked over the vacuum lines and even used the propane torch method to try and find any leak. I cleared the code and again I have driven it to Granada and back along with a trip around the block and no check engine light. I wonder if it's related to a small vacuum leak in the gas cap.
Would be nice to eliminate the so it wouldn't come on again.
Now that we fixed the heater, whats the consensus on getting the A/C re-charged and seeing it it holds a charge?
Let me know, Fred

We could recharge it ourselves, get a kit at O'Riely's.

Oooh! I have an idea for free! I paid to have the Honda drained so I could replace the compressor and orifice tube... But we sold it prior to recharging it, it's paid for @ Midas down the street

That's the idea.... But I don't know when I will have time as I am working 18 hour days...... I'll call them and see if they will transfer it.... Wow what an offer from a non owner!

Matt,
I dropped the Grand at Midas at 8 am this morning, the guy knew who I was when I drove in.
We'll see what happens.
By the way the Check ebngine light came back on, again it's a small evap. leak. It takes about 10-15 miles after it is cancelled before it comes on again.
Thanks, Fred

We got heat and we got air!
All it needed was a re-charge, there were no found leaks.
The man of the hour award goes to Will Slattery.......I can't believe I even said it!
Thanks Will. the Grand is really shaping up to be a nice car!
