I have a 03 Lexus gs300 and I'm trying to get my emission test done to pass inspection. I brought a code reader and it has a readiness tester on it. The scanner is reading evap not ready. I have replaced the vsv by the canister inspected all hoses at the canister and under the hood. I tested the vsv on the air box under the hood and it was good. I replaced the canister last year with a used on but I was able to get it inspected.I replaced the gas cap with a new one from the dealer.The car has 130k I brought it in February of 10 and only put 30k on it. I'm running out of ideas. There was a hose with a slight bend(pcv elbow hose) in it just passed the throttle body.look like someone created a elbow hose with a regular hose .I also have not changed the fuel pressure sensor on the canister which I was looking at yesterday. I also discover that when I take the gas cap off there seems to be no hissing noise when I go to fuel up.

Update:I checked the readiness this am pending codes where p0441 ,42,46. ( no check engine light) Are these codes for a bad fuel pressure sensor? If some one can get me going in the right direction that would be great. Thanks in advance

Start searching the 2GS forum for these diagnostic trouble codes. They have been discussed in length and i'm sure you can gain some insight into possible causes and proven solutions.

I have look over the post several times about the codes. I was just trying to see if the fuel pressure sensor could be related to my problem and if anyone had insight on that?

Once you clear the codes, you have to drive the car for a day or two or three until you complete the drive cycle. Only then will the Evap Not Ready code disappear.

I figured out the issue the pcv elbow was replaced before I received the car with a regular hose. The hose had a severe crack in it. I replaced the hose and drove the car the evap is ready now hopefully this will help someone else thanks for all your help

My mechanic pulled the codes 440 and 446. I asked him to check the hoses on the right side of the engine and the gas cap. Those are all fine. He says the evap canister needs to be replaced and that it's gonna cost $450. Does this sound like a fair price?
