I can see a lot of threads on this but not really on my model and the resolution or parts of it.
I got a check engine light 2 days back and on checking with the OBD II scanner - I found its the P1450
I havent seen any issues - no sounds - no driving issues - I did realize that the mpg has gone to 17 but that could very well be because of snowing lately.
Usually I get 20ish mpg
I need suggestions:
Should I try removing the code and observe if it comes back?
Should I just get the purge valve and replace it - if yes, does anyone has instructions on it (and where can I get the purge Valve from)
Should I get it done by someone - what should be the charges?
Honestly I have never worked on my car before so it would be new for me but I am ready to put effort to save a 100 bucks.
Bonus: I am in Virginia so if anyone knows any shop which will be cheap and let me watch this - I can go there.
Finally, safe to drive for about 400-500 miles?
