I got the same problem, What is "hacking the evap sensor with a relay
and a resistor to get the right signal to the PCM "

Same thing happened to my Honda. Replaced gas cap, and several other
expensive parts that cost several hundred dollars. I was afraid it
might be the PCM, but didn't want to pay the dealer lots more money to
test it or replace more parts on an old 100k mile car. I ended up
hacking the evap sensor with a relay and a resistor to get the right
signal to the PCM and it runs fine now and still gets good gas mileage
at 40 mpg.

I have had the check engine light come on 3 times in our 99 Accord LX sedan
2.3L (152,000 miles) in the last month. First it was just the gas cap, then
the evap canister was replaced and now I'm told its the PCM. This was the
computer readout from my local repair shop. In talking to a few other
mechanics, they doubt that it is the PCM and think that the Honda dealer
testing equipment is really what I should have done. Any thoughts on this -
I just don't want to waste another $100 for engine analysis as I feel like
dumping the car at this point although it is otherwise in great shape.
