Check Engine Light problems

In april 2010 my check engine light came on.

The computer code for the light is P1457 and the probable causes are:

loose fuel cap,
vapor canister saturated,
failed vent solenoid,
and failed purge solenoid.

I had a mechanic pinpoint what the problem was and he said i needed to replace the Evap. bypass solenoid.

In May 2010 I got that part replaced and then a few days later the light came back on again.

Does anyone know what could be the problem? I've already spent so much money at the mechanic I don't wanna go again until I do some more research.

Re: Check Engine Light problems

you should take it back and have them pull the codes again im a mechanic at a big name shop and if i had done the work i would have to recheck it for free....so they should recheck it for free since they told you it was that part
