It's been a while, so how did you end up making out? What was the culprit?

Required tools: Set of Torx T bits. You will need 2 different ones. Like T30.
After pulling out the carbon canister, I noticed that it had some white residue blocking one of the outlets. Anyone know what it is? I cleaned it up so the canister could breathe.
I also noticed that my problem might have not been the pump, but the cable connecting to it.
The pump cable was rubbing the plastic that covers the canister area to the point where it rubbed the copper off. There was no connection at all. I fixed that and put something to prevent the plastic cover from rubbing anything else.

Sorry for the delay, but excellent write-up, man! It was super helpful for me when I finally got around to replacing my pump.
But stupid me, forgot that once I cleared my codes, I'd need to drive long enough for the ECU to reset and instead, drove straight to my neighbors shop for an inspection sticker (I was due for a new one in April). And so their software caught the recently cleared code and I got a rejection sticker. Better than nothing, especially if I get pulled over again. Non-issue, though, as once I get enough miles on the car, I'm going back for a re-test.
