I have an oil change appt. at a dealership I've heard is Z and mod friendly (I haven't owned the car long enough to have been to any dealership) in 2 weeks, and want to see if the MIL goes off on its own. The idle speed is up (1000 - 1100 rpms), which, from what I've read, is often related to a vacuum leak when this code is thrown.
Here is my dilemma: Do I leave the light on and have the dealership service dept. address it (with the slight chance they may blame tampering with the EVAP canister - the cover was removed and a line heat wrapped as part of the FI exhaust install), or just clear it again (the idle returned to normal when I cleared the code last time).
I'm open to any thought you guys might have

Any other mods?
Moisture getting into a coilpack that might be bad (although if so, it's strange you didn't get a specific cyl miss code -- not to mention a new car...)
Wait -- evap cover removed??? Not sure what you are talking about, but if not sealed right could be causing a vac leak. That would give you a lean misfire.
