Got an OBD 11 and checked it for a code and the code that came up is:
P0455
Evaporative Emmission Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak)
What do I do now and what does this mean exactly, what is wrong with the car and what parts does it need to be fixed and an approximate cost and time labour should take
Well actually this is the most embarasing code to get... It actually means your emission purge line is inoperative. Yes your scanner told you a generic definition, which is the nature of OBD 2 but, the truth is that 10 out of 10 times this code will not be fixed by replacing the gas cap. This particular code relates to any one of 3 components, and two sensors in your evap system. Test the sensors, and if they are good, then have your evap canister weighed. If it is the correct weight, then don't replace it, check the valve on the purge line, if that is fine then you have to replace the filler neck. Not because the filler neck is bad, but because there is a filter made into it which is connected to the purge line which is plugged with charcole and fuel, and this is where it gets embarasing... Its plugged because you over filled your tank too many times. Letting the pump go until it shuts its self off is very easy, but also very costly. As you have just found out.
Ok so I have the same "gross emissions leak" code.However I am also getting less gas mileage and the car has less power. I have a 2006 Hyundai Tucson 4cyl 2 wheel drive. Please help!
That code indicates a leak in the evap system for emissions. first and easiest thing to do is replace fuel cap. (ck to see if its loose). once the cap is replaced. go through several "drive cycles" (starting and driving car) if that was the problem, the light will turn off on its own. if lite does not shut off in few days, other components are suspect. ie. evap vent valve, fuel filler pipe. any breach in fuel system or evap test system. this code does not present a running condition and is considered "safe" to drive.
