Exclamation

Code P0 455 (large leak!) means that when the fuel evap system is tested it doesn't hold any vacuum/pressure. There are 4 different componets in that system (depends on year & model!!) that can cause that code. Starts underhood with the purge valve. Goes back to the purge switch-over valve. The MAP sensor in the fuel tank sending unit monitors vacuum/pressure changes, & last is the intergrity of the fuel tank & hoses. OF course the fuel cap as well!
ANY of those can & do cause that code!
