I brought my toyota solara 2002 to the dealer for diagnosis "check engine light on". The dealer suggested to change the canister that worth $ 300 bucks! I did try to change the canister cap but in a few days the warning light popped again. Any other suggestion? Thanks.

nurzes, I can help you because Toyota's are the name of my game.......BUT.....I need a little more info.
Since you went to a dealer, you paid a diagnostic charge and for that they must have told you a code (or codes) that your Solara put out and why your CEL came on.
Need to know what engine, and vehicle milage too.

Under certain driving conditions, some 2000–2003 model year Avalon, Camry (NAP only)
and Solara vehicles, and some 2001–2003 model year Sienna vehicles may exhibit a
M.I.L. “ON” with DTC(s) P0440, P0441 and/or P0446 stored due to an inoperative
Canister Closed Valve Vacuum Switching Valve (CCV VSV). The CCV assembly process
has been changed to correct this condition
