I'll just replace them as they go. I'm having to replace brake rotors on it at 70K, they are in real bad shape. Thanks for visiting!

Thanks for the info. I replaced my pruge valve solenoid, and 4 hoses. The hoses were in awful shape, dry and cracked at both ends.Got my code reset, went to Texas and back. No more engine light.

Seems to be what they say to everyone. If you replace the line yourself, be real careful under the fuse box. That took forever to get back together because I wasn't paying attention.

I've had that thing into the shop a few times now for the check engine light. They described the code just as you did. Apparently I need to take matters into my own hands and check it out.
