Default Hey Look.....Yet Another Problem

Now my car is throwing a code......code P2187 to be exact. This is what All Data is telling me. Note the pics.

Oh! Is that all?
First thing is the MAF sensor. That's where I"d start. It seems to be the root of all evils w/modern cars.
Also if it hasn't been done yet, I know there is new software available for the PCM which should also help. But that does mean a trip to the dealer and I don't know what they'd charge? Mine was doneunder warranty.
"Sure glad all these electronics make diagnosing problems so much easier.... [:'(][:@]

I used Identifix and a confirmed fix is the Evap Solenoid. Luckily it is, as we all know, on the right side of the engine basicly right up front. The thing is, is it easy to fix? It looks like its a plug and play type of solenoid, you know, unhook both sides and reverse installation.
