EVAP system - charcoal canister issue

I have my car back. CEL seems to be fixed. Code was as follows and the sensor was replaced.

ECM P045100 - Evap System pressure sensor/switch range performance.

I got my car back.
Here is what stated on the work order - ECM-P045100 and ECM-P044600 stored active. Fault tracing with Lotus FTS lead to the discovery of fuel bleeding into EVAP canister via EVAP tank valve.
Replaced EVAP canister and EVAP valve as per FTS.
I will have to drive the car for 50 miles or so to see if the check engine light returns but Lotus is positive the issue has been resolved.

Same problem here after owning the car for two days. Hopefully the parts arrive soon.
A data point - it took almost 2 weeks to get the canister from the UK. The valve was available at the dealer.
 
i have the same issue with my car. Code P0415 evap sensor CEL . I have installed eventuri Intake and 3rd cat delete with miltek sensor. If I have to take it to the dealer, should I put it back to stock before I put in for service? I'm just worried that after market parts would void any warranty.

Depends on if your dealer is one of the friendly or stick to the rules kind. Officially you'll at least put a "who is at fault" on the table if you keep it modified.
Various text from Lotus side suggest any modification will void all warranty - but this is gonna be hard to argue and actually put in action

I would err on the side of caution.

P0451 strikes again.
No mods on my car.
Going back to the dealer in 2 weeks.

The CEL is off now but the code is stored.
Hopefully I’d be able to bring the car to the dealer next Monday unless we are getting snow.
