Hey Everyone... I am a new member and this is my first post
I have a 99 I4 camry. few months ago the check engine light came on. First time i got it diagnosed, my mechanic said it was the EGR valve and so had that replaced. the light came on after a day or so. After a few days a whistling sound started as well. the sound start about 5-10 mins of driving (guessing till the car warms up to the running temp) and is there the whole time as long as the pressure is light on the gas pedal as soon as I push it up to 3k rpm or so sound goes off till i ease up on the pedal. diagnostics gave me P0441 & P0446 and the mechanic put it up on the hoist to check it out and said it was the charcoal canister leaking. And my car has taken a major hit on the fuel consumption as it has decreased since this problem start (from 10% to currently about 25%-30% of what i used to get). was wanderning if that is actually the problem because spent quiet a bit on the EGR valve and feel like that was money down the drain.
