I have a 1999 Solara with a code of P0440. I have about 130K miles on the car. The car runs beautifully with no major issues. So my question is what is the probability that I may have to change out the solenoid. What is this rated if I were to take it in and have done.I am debating the cost of having it done with the savings of doing it myself however it will take me longer since I don't have the equipment a mechanic has. Is it worthwhile to do myself anyway?

I have a 1999 Camry with this code. Apparently there are a few things this code could indicate. Ultimately, in my car, changing the charcoal canister fixed it. It could also indicate a lift sensor needs or EGR valve needs replacing. As the charcoal canister is basically an "air filter" that doesn't affect how the car runs, I waited until before my safety inspection, as the check engine light wouldn't go off until the problem was fixed!
