    On cold start engine makes fast chatter noise.

    No, it's not difficult - just takes some patience and make sure the engine is cold. There's a tool you can buy for like $15 that makes the process a little quicker, but I've done many just using a screwdriver and wrench. This guy has a video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7wI4EtZSaA

    p1457 evap code

    The canisters hardly ever fail. What can happen is the 2 screws that hold the canister shut valve can seize. I would try getting the screws out first. Why replace a good part if you don't have to? No, it's not imbedded. The PCM runs a diagnostic on the EVAP system when the conditions are...

    p1457 evap code

    Check Engine Light (P1457 and P1457 PD)

    Shouldn't have to - but here's the thing about P1457 that's a little different than other CELs: If it's being caused by a solenoid that's shorted out, when the PCM tries to energize it there will be a dead short on that circuit, and that will eventually burn out the transistor in the PCM that...

    Changed brake pads but passenger side still squeak????

    It's been my experience that whenever I have changed pads on Hondas and Toyotas, and I did not use the OEM pads, I always got more squeal than the stock parts. On top of that I think ceramics probably make the situation worse. Before going through the trouble of replacing these, try bedding them...
