No, haven't gotten it repaired yet. Broke out the mountain bike and using the subway till I do. How much did the evap canister run you? I was thinking it might be fuel/air but assumed was same as 02 sensor. I believe there are 3 sensors, 1 before the cat and 2 after, may be wrong. Dealer wants about $125.
I found the part online for less than $60, but you gotta get the right one, may be more:

Called the dealer again today to see if they would ck the code when I take it in next week for a recall repair (lower ball joint) that Toyota sent me a letter about (dealer pays). They said no and want $135 just to diagnose.
Checked w/AutoZone and Pep Boys to see if they would do for free and they said no, too. They have the scanners for rent (about $165, refunded), so I think I may go that route. Just don't wanna be wrong or could get more expensive. I'm think I'm looking at between $300-400 w/labor.
I got a lot of good information online. Here's a good one, I thought:

and this one has some possible codes and links:

Lemme know if you find a solution.
