Exclamation HELP !!!! Evap Emission Vent Code

So I have a 2004 Silverado 1500 with a 5.3 engine. I replaced the fuel cap and evap vent solinoid and still the light comes on. What else could it be I dont have a fancy $10000 scanner and hate to take it to a shop for some stupid emission problem. Any thoughts?

only other thing you can replace, and it sucks because this is a dart, is the purge valve up on the engine, ive seen them leak evap. and itll set a light, if that dont do it, youve got a line or your sending unit seal is leaking, and youll more then likley need a shops diagnosis for that.
