Hi garyk11,

Thank you for the donation.

The most common cause of this DTC is a loose gas cap.

DTC P0497: EVAP SYSTEM LOW PURGE FLOW

Check if the fuel fill cap is installed and properly tightened.

- Properly install the fuel fill cap (the cap must say "Tighten to click"). If should turn 1/4 turn ( t least 3 clicks must be heard) after it's tight, reset the PCM and retest.

It might come on and require some running time before it goes away.

If the above does not resolve the problem, we would have to go into diagnostics, let me know if it is necessary.
