AND mini works perfectly. It solved my rough idle, poor acceleration from a stop, and "check gas cap emission leak" code!
Yep, still a useful post. Put the part number into google and found it on ebay for $20!

That's great its fixed. Easy unit to replace as its just in the a front corner of the engine bay. Also check to make sure the lines going to it are not cracked/damaged. Watch that bottom connection as it can snap on the old one.
