purge solenoid still good? does that thing have 2 o2 sensors?

CHAHONDA

yup it has 2 o2 sensors.
the purge seloniod is fine. it sits under the hood on the passenger side.

Check to make sure the gas cap is sealing. It's looking at a vacuum leak somewhere in the emissions/fuel system. It could be the LDP actually quit. But usually, this code is given when the fuel cap is left off. Also possible a vacuum line collapsed, or is cut. But, that's just a good starting point.

When you clear the codes, it should not immediately come back on, unless the electrical connector for the LDP has a short, or something is providing an electrical fault, which would show up immediately. Nothing else (besides electrical system components) really tests until a few seconds after the motor is running.
