So it's a good thing you replaced the gasket during this process.
Also, there are a couple different part numbers for the rear charcoal canister, and it's important that you match the correct one to your vehicle. If you use the incorrect one you'll have a hard time starting it the first time after filling up, and it will progressively get worse.

Cool, you could be right that it was the canister...after 20 years, I decided, it's just not worth figuring it out. Everything was suspect.
Can you post the alternate part numbers for the canister? It helps people out. I did not find any other part number for 2001-2002 and it's supposed to be for all trim levels. "77740-35482" does replace a prior part number "77740-35481" but the old one, if you find it, should work.
