Hey everyone,

My car has been throwing a check engine light code on and off for quite some time. I will get it cleared by my buddy at his shop and then it will come back on in a matter of a week or so or less. The code that I keep getting is P0455 - EVAP, emission control system gross leak detected.

I figure that this is a leaky gas cap. My question is if the leak could be anywhere else? If you can tell where the leak is based on the given code? How I should go about fixing it etc.

Thanks alot,

Mike
 






Check all the hoses to the tank.. specifically the fill hose and the vent hose that runs to the evap system (charcoal canister, which I believe is still up front for your X).
