Hi there. It is indeed possible that a canister EVAP solenoid is the source of your hard to start issue. However, the problem with most auto parts store "scans" is they make way too many assumptions on the source of the problem. The truth is that most error codes indicate different components within the same system that are causing a symptom that the sensors detect. For example, one of the possible (4) EVAP solenoid codes could be caused by the canister itself, the solenoid, electrical harness or the purge solenoid. This is why it’a always best to have a professional mobile mechanic come to your location to complete a car is hard to start inspection, so they can download the codes and complete an actual inspection of the possible sources to find the precise source of the issue.
