    My CEL came on last week, I think I might have found what it is. What is the black box at the rear right side of my car, it has hoses run to it? Is this the EVAP canister, because the CEL code said that could be the problem? I ran over something about two day before the CEL came on, and today upon closer inspection I found that black box is damaged and probably not forming a complete seal.

    look for the valve that is shaped like a UFO, that's your EGR valve. I believe that system runs to the charcoal canister. Not sure, but see if the lines connect.

    I think I might try to use some duct sealant I have to repair it. I figure its worth a try before I spend the money. So by the dollar sign I am gathering this piece is not cheap. I might try to make my own out of a liter coke bottle and some matchlight. Just kidding about that, thanks for your help guys.

    Ok, so I put the duct sealant on the EVAP canister and during the mountain run Sunday the CEL finally went off, I am pretty happy about fixing that problem myself.
