Okay, new developments.
After the second fill up with the new gas cap, the evap failure turned off. So I am thinking that it just took a while to cycle. Crossing that one off.
My co-worker brought his Inova Scan Tool OBD2 for me to use. The 1590 code is still active, and it says the following on the screen:
P1590 Land_Rover
Rough road signal
implausibleDrive
cycle A:Signal
implausible
If anyone has an idea of that that means, I am all ears. Thanks.

P0441. Change the evap purge valve. Get on amazon. Look for Forman 911-800. Runs you $20. Or $40 at napa.
Just did mine for the second time in two years. A properly working purge valve will tick at a fast pace. If you don't hears yours ticking, time to replace.
I smoke testing last weekend and didn't find anything. For the hell of it I replaced the purge again, and all is good again.
I had been driving this way for a year, but now my inspection is out so I had to spend time on it. I had ruled out the purge valve because it had recently been replaced, turns out it needed to be done again.

Service Engine light went back on, so i assume that the evap thing is still lingering. Have no time to find out why my amigos (+1) are on. Looking for a mechanic in Rocklin/Roseville, CA who can knock these two out for me because I can't drive legal without these codes cleared. Any recommendations welcome.

I did read on another forum that if your purge valve keeps failing then your problem is more then likely a bad charcoal canister that is allowing the charcoal to plug up the purge valve.
I decided to blow out the hose that runs from the charcoal canister to the purge valve in case there was any charcoal powder in there and so far so good. If my purge valve keeps failing then i'll look into a new canister.
NO MAS CODES, TIME FOR A DOS EQUIS It is starting to warm up. When is the fishing trip to the coast?

FYI,
Instead of chancing a CHP encounter with expired tags en route to Sac, I elected to try McCoy's in Roseville. They had replaced my wheel speed sensor when I bought it (the used dealer agreed to have it fixed before I bought it), and McCoy's agreed to diagnose both codes for $65 (he has an ABS one that will tell why the P1590 is tripping, and why my EVAP code is on too).
If it is a wheel speed sensor and a evap purge valve, I am assuming both are easy fixes, right?
