So, I picked up a 0442 a while back (among a laundry list of other issues). Cleared it, came back. Meh, not a huge deal. I figured it's about time to deal with it so I ran codes today and got a 0455.

0442 popped up one day when I forgot to put my gas cap on. Figured I'd start there, but this IS and evap issue. Evap = nightmare diagnostics in my world. Thus, any other things to look at right off would be great.
 






0455 is a large leak or lack of flow through the purge valve. I'd check the canister and hoses around the purge valve. Sometimes when you get evap codes that aren't specific it's easier to get a smoke test.
