My check engine light came on the other day and when I pulled the code I got this:
P2422 (EVAP system vent shut valve close malfunction)
Car seems to be running fine. I'm not sure when the light came on but it seemed to come on after I filled my tank up...and I mean filled it. I usually wait until the click but this was one of those nozzels that clicked off every 5 seconds. Any relation to an over filled tank? Probably a coincidence.
In any even I'm needing to drive the car this upcoming weekend out to my reserve base..probably will put about 250 miles on this weekend.
Any danger driving with this until I can get it looked at? Between the snow and other stuff I haven't had a chance to get it to my mechanic.
I saw there was a service bulletin for this years ago but at 160K I'm sure I'm out of luck lol
My main concern is ok to drive?
Product Update: EVAP Canister Drain Joint
(Supersedes 03-040, dated July 31, 2003)

canister at its drain joint. This can cause the MIL to

flow) or DTC P2422 (EVAP system vent shut valve
close malfunction).
