EVAP error? Anyone ever have a 16825 error code?

I threw a CEL this week and this is what was read:

18010 - Power supply Terminal 30: Voltage too Low P1602 - 35-10 --- Intermittent

16825 - EVAP Emission Control Sys: Incorrect Flow P0441 - 35-10 --- Intermittent

The power supply could be left over from when I swapped the battery last summer, but the EVAP has me confused. Shine cleared the error and it hasn't come back yet, so I'm not sure what to think.

Ok, ran a search... where is the "purge control valve"? Near the airbox?

Folks who have recorded a 16825 seem to have a bad purge valve. Anyone?

Watched my trusted independent mech do the switch. Literally 5 minutes start to finish. Yes it is near the airbox. You have to undo a plug and the rubber weather resistant sleeve that goes around it. Someone with a Bentley (I know!!!! I NEED ONE!!!!) can tell you exactly. Its closer to the firewall but very easily accessible.

Re: Cake and Pie....Piece of Cake...Easy as Pie...

I just had mine replaced for a CEL. I was charged 138 for the part- is that about right(not really right, but the going rate...)

I usually have a good handle on what things cost- but not purge valves...
