ok so i ran the code thing turning on and off the key...

came up with the code....

dun dun dun!!!


P 0455...

if anyone knows what that is.. i'd appreciate it.

 

well ****...

Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak/no flow)

is what that site said...

any ideas as to where i should look?????

 

Check that your gas cap is tight, that is the most likely cause.

Here is more on that code:

hey thanks really appreciate the help.

 

ok i tightened up the gas cap before i drove home so i'm gonna go reset the comp and see if it comes up again.. DERN people that fill up my tank... wish i could pump my own gas DERN (yes i censored myself) it.


sorry ranting..

 

ABSOLUTELY RETARDED....


gas cap was apparently loose........


day well spent.


thanks for all you're help guys... sorry it was nothing. well.. glad it was nothing but still wish it was something for all that i worried about this.

STUPID PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WORK AT GAS STATIONS!!!!!!!

 

Hopefully that did fix it, but I would give it a few more days before you call it fixed for good. I have had that code on my Mustang (turned out to be a bad purge valve), and when I was troubleshooting, I could reset the computer and not see the code pop up again right away (so I would think I had finally fixed it). Then a few days later, it would return.

Glad we could help though.

 

I agree. It usually takes a bit of driving before a code comes back (if the problem hasn't been fixed). Especially if it's an evap system problem...which my least favorite type to troubleshoot...next to grounding problems [:'(]

Hopefully it was just the gas cap though

 

+10

Something else to keep in mind, is that the seal on the gas cap itself could be going bad.....My 2000 Dakota Sport had this problem. I'd tighten the cap down and the light would go off....hour later it would be back on. The rubber seal on the gas cap was faulty. They replaced the gas cap and voila....no more problemo.

Evap system errors are a royal pain, but 5 outta 10 times.....its usually a bad gas cap or a bad seal....unless your a turbo and then all bets are off...

 

turbo one of these things???? not for me. supercharge it maybe.. but for now the engine remains stock...

college bills, rent, utilities, food, then the truck. that's where the money goes.. what little there is.

well started up this morning and no code so that's good.
