if it's an evap leak (and gas cap is ok), I would take it to the dealer (because they often have the best test equipment for evap stuff) unless you find out that there is some common little bs problem that's easily fixable...

after my Google search it seems to be a bad gas cap so my guess is the spring in the cap is bad, not allowing it to pressurize. good luck though
