Why does p01800 keep showing up

I don't know what is going on but Everytime I scan for codes the last few days 1800 shows up. I've swapped vias solenoids 3 times already so I know they can't all be bad. Everytime I erase the code it pops back up.what else do I need to check or replace

Found the problem the hoses were routed wrong for so long that it killed the power valve actuator thingy. So got another power valve and routed hoses correctly and now it's fixed. And the code showed up as a ghost code meaning it didn't cause the check engine light to light up. Had this code along with po430.

Just delete the whole thing, ugly and frees up a bit of power/torque. You will still get a CEL if you don't plug in the solenoid though. I have 4 codes, all EVAP related .

I've never been sold on the VIAS Delete...My car was torquey as hell with the VIAS and I loved the way it accelerated barely touching the throttle....It made it easier to drive in traffic for sure....

Found Dorman p/n: 911-506 for $83 shipped from Rock Auto...O'rielly wanted $139 for the Dorman brand and $239 for the BWD (Borg-Warner)...Y'all better start testing and taking all the good ones you can find in the boneyard...Test it with a VOM to ensure the solenoid is good...as long as you feel the solenoid close when energized it should be serviceable.

I learned my lesson and now take pictures of everything so I don't have to rely on my sometimes faulty memory LOL
