Did you ever figure out the lack of suction?

That clicking in the evap valve is normal.. It means its working. If there is no suction from the suction pump, it might be bad.

I'm not able to get any suction out of that nipple...but if it's bad, it seems like it would have some other symptom. I don't have a single code. I even tried pouring it in with a funnel and it wouldn't go. It's too bad, I've been looking forward to some seafoam action.
