Yeah, my engine light is off and on all the time with that for a little over a year now. If you are confidant that it is ONLY an evap problem your options are:
1) Ignore it, as it is not really something that will negatively effect your vehicle.
2) Trace the problem and replace parts.
-Start with a new gas cap. Cheapest and easiest thing to do first.
If that doesn't do it, then you could be in for a long search for the cause of the problem. could be one or more of the check valves, solenoids, sensors, etc..in the system. I know some places use a smoke machine to try and trace leaks in the system, or the dealers have special set of tools to diagnose evap problems.
Good luck. Hope it's a simple fox for you.
