Check engine light on

Someone please help! I can't find a large hole in the evap-system
of my 1999 Stratus. So I have not been able to smog it. It has cost
me a lot of money replacing hoses and other things and then of corse
the hourly fees. HELP!

i cannot think of the item that goes bad on all of them...do you have the code number?

Yes PO455 ( EVAP Ctrl System Gross Leak Detected )
The guy that smog the car said he had done that type of work for 25 years and
never have seen (Gross leak Detected) No one can seem to find it.
Even on some kind of vacum scope. So The last test I have to run would be a smoke
test. But I had to pay 570.00 to get it out of inpound due to my registration being
past due. It has been a nightmare!

holy crap! where do you live? commiefornia?

for the money that youre spending, you could have replaced everything...at this point, i would get it to a dealership..if nothing else, theyll replace everything
