Twice I've cleared this code. First time lasted 50 miles, second 450 miles. What's the likely cause? Checking at Ozbrick there's mention of the EVAP valve. Where is it?

Thanks,
Erwin

Most likely cause is a sticking or leaking evap (canister purge)valve. The valve is fastened to the engine fan shroud just below the fresh air intake tube on the drivers side. It has 2 hoses and 1 two wire conector. 1 hose goes to the intake manifold, the other drops down along side the engine fan.
