I have a 98 eclipse non turbo 5spd that is throwing code p1495. After a good amount of research online (chiltons is no help) the general consensus says it's a faulty leak detection pump aka evaporative emissions ventilation solenoid, the wiring going to it, or a vacuum leak associated with it. Because the code is thrown immediately upon first start after clearing all codes, I am getting the notion that it is not a vacuum leak (also BC I tried filling my tank all the way and also clearing codes). The car overall is in great shape and has only seen four light winters, and all other visible vacuum hoses seem to be in good shape, with no signs of dry rot, which also leads me to believe it's not a vacuum leak.
I did look under the front bumper and checked what I believe is the evap purge solenoid. Here is a picture of it:
It's lines looked good, and it tested 20 ohms between it's two connections. Any verification on what this part is would be helpful.
I am about to drop my fuel tank, as that is another likely spot for the leak detection pump along with the charcoal canister. I was just hoping someone could also verify the location for me before I end up doing a lot of unnecessary work and potentially cause more headaches with dropping the tank.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I apologize for any typos, as this was written from my cell phone.
***EDIT***
Well I dropped the tank tonight anyway. I noticed that a barb fitting attached to the tank was broken in half, and looked like it has been for a while. In the picture it is the bottom left fitting looking down at the top of the tank.
And another pic here:
I didn't have time to trace where the line goes to but it was a decent sized rubber line with a house clamp, and it went to the metal tube that looks clean on the end in the top right of this picture:
Can anyone tell what that it's that broke?
Getting back to the p1495 code, could it be throwing the code as a result of the broken barbed fitting? Also, I assume the leak detection pump is the device in the middle of the previous picture, seen a little closer up here:
I remember reading that two of the terminals on the pump should read around 30 ohms, and that's what I'm getting between the top two terminals in the picture as well as the botton two. Between the top and bottom terminals it is reading as an open ckt.
Again, I am kind of lost wIth all this and appreciate any help offered. Thanks.
