Mitsubishi Mirage - E-Bay Parts Cannon Fail

In this video I have a look at a customers 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage with 1200cc's of thunder! He has been battling this EVAP code for a long time now but none of the crappy aftermarket parts have stuck so he's throwing in the towel.
-Enjoy!

    This is going to sound goofy but I'm glad you've been doing the "hey there viewer's welcome back" intro lately it's such a trademark of SMA

    My son knows that if he ever called me anything other than dad or sir he would get smacked into another universe.

    I went to Louisville, Ky. for an automotive swap meet wearing your shirt this past Saturday and a guy asked if I was Wyattoneable. He recognized me from the "Special Delivery" video. Thanks for making me famous. :) I hope you and the family are doing well.

    Well you can laugh all you want about the Mirage, but it brings me from A to B in resonable comfort (full spec, also 2015). I had zero defects and zero rust in also a rust belt (NW Europe). Average 60 mpg over 85000 miles. Zero oil consumption. Just a little fuel a set of little tyres, two tiny brake discs, fluids and a small battery. That's it.

    I am a older person who doesn’t work on cars anymore and purge valves and all that stuff you were talking about I don’t understand at all. That said I sit and am throughly amazed at how you sit and explain the process of working towards the solution. Pure genius.

    My Daughter called me "bruh" once and only once. I reminder her my name is father, dad, Mr. Dad, father dearest, "Sir, Dad, Sir" but never ever "bruh".

    To all you DIY , I run a garden tractor, snow blower on site repair business. I know not everyone can diagnose. So I won’t yell at the parts cannon . BUT for crying out loud---1part at a time. Then clear coat and see if that worked . if not at least if you find a new problem now and reverse before you get totally confused I love Eric in his involved explanations. as a non car mechanic I need some coaching on these computer systems

    As soon as you said we just met and you were getting down on your knees, I was just dying to have Mrs. O walk up to you and catch you in the act! Lol

    You just have to appreciate the level of understanding and experience that makes this fix work. Very few people can do what we just watched. In my book Eric is the GOAT.

    I had a good laugh at the "I know we just met" at about 16 minutes when you had to blow on the hose. Informative and funny video. Thanks.

    Ivan @ Pine Hollow just went down a rabbit hole chasing a misfire on a Subaru. Turns out customer put junk aftermarket coils in, that could not handle the voltage from the alternator while running. Unplugged the alt, and ran fine!

    It's not just ebay, it's big chains too. Had to get a map sensor and throttle position sensor for my '06 Dodge dakota. The original semsors lasted 11 years, the Standard Motor Products I bought from O'reillys lasted 10 months. Also needed hub assemblies. Bought Autozone duralast gold hubs....junk out of the box.

    I tried the "do it the name of auto repair" on my wife last week. No go.
