Hi,

My 98 accord has emission light problem. Two years back I replaced
canister and also pressure valve. It paased the emission at that time,
but with in months check engine light is still on. I alread spend about
$1000 so far on this. I have to re do my CA emission again... what are
the best options availabe to me.

Uh, not quite...

1457 ties it down to the *canister* part of the evaporative system, as
opposed to the *tank* portion.

Three of these codes:
P1456 Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Leakage
(Fuel Tank System)
P1457 Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) Control System Leakage
(EVAP Canister System)
P1459 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Flow Switch Malfunction

If you've been in the habit of 'topping up' you might get that light
more often than you would like....
