Please, where is the problem? The "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light keeps on.
Here they dont'know where the problem is. How to get the light off. Thank you very much for your answer!

About the only way to find small leaks is by injecting smoke from a smoke machine. It's white non-toxic smoke at 2 psi. You inject it anywhere in the evaporative emission recovery system, then watch for where it sneaks out. Look for loose hose clamps, dry-rotted or cracked hoses, leaking purge valves, etc.
