Over the summer, I've been getting this code and did some research and came up with the following:
Code is defined as:
gas cap not holding vacuum
EVAP purge canister check valve problem (leaking?)
My observations:
The CEL comes on whether the tank is half full or near empty. It comes on after driving for an extended period of time (2-3 hours) on the highway and then slowing/stopping in regular street traffic. It goes away after 4-5 starts... It appears to happen much more often when its hot. (Well, the last time I took a long trip in mid-oct, I didn't get it...) This started in late July when it was very hot, and after a long (7000miles+) road trip.
My car is at ~64K miles. Well maintained.
Any ideas?
