p455 p !?!?!?
i pulled this code iver replaced the gas cap and the fuel neck from the top of the fill to the gas tank in goin nuts tryen to find where this code is coming from i also had somthing else happen that was weird the old fuel neck out of my 06 ss coupe had a metal vapor container its at the top of the neck it keeps the fumes down and keeps debris from getting in the tank well mine broke off god knows where it is mabey in my gas tank could that little peice of metal be the root to all my problems ????????? let me no

The control module tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. When the conditions for running are met, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OPEN and the EVAP vent solenoid valve CLOSED. This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve closed, sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. If the system is unable to achieve the calibrated vacuum level, or the vacuum level decreases too rapidly, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the OPEN or CLOSED states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid valves.

DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0455 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
Conditions for Running the DTC
• DTCs P0068, P0069, P0095, P0096, P0097, P0098, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0120, P0121, P0125, P0128, P0130, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0134, P0135, P0136, P0137, P0138, P0140, P0141, P0220, P0442, P0443, P0449, P0452, P0453, P0496, P0502, P0562, P0563, P0641, P0651, P1133, P1134 are not set.
• The engine is running.
• The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts.
• The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 74 kPa.
• The fuel level is between 15-85 percent.
• The start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-65°C (39-149°F).
• The start-up intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-75°C (39-167°F).
• The start-up ECT and IAT are within 8°C (16°F) of each other.
• DTC P0455 runs once per cold start drive cycle once the above conditions are met.
Conditions For Setting the DTC
The EVAP system is not able to achieve or maintain vacuum during the diagnostic test for up to 13 minutes.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
• The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
• The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
• To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with a J 41413-SPT High Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15-second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
• A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
• To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with a J 41413-SPT .
• Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
• For intermittent conditions, refer to Intermittent Conditions.
Test Description
The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.
3.
Introducing smoke in 15 second intervals may allow smaller leak areas to be more noticeable. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.

• To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with a J 41413-SPT High Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15-second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system. When the system is less pressurized, the smoke will sometimes escape in a more condensed manner.
• A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
• To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with a J 41413-SPT .
• Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
• For intermittent conditions, refer to Intermittent Conditions.

put plainly, inspect for a leak somewhere in your evap system. if you have a broken evap pipe, that very well could be the problem..
System OK
The control module tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. When the conditions for running are met, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OPEN and the EVAP vent solenoid valve CLOSED. This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve closed, sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. If the system is unable to achieve the calibrated vacuum level, or the vacuum level decreases too rapidly, this DTC sets.
The following table illustrates the relationship between the ON and OFF states, and the OPEN or CLOSED states of the EVAP canister purge and vent solenoid valves.
DTC Descriptor
This diagnostic procedure supports the following DTC:
DTC P0455 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak
Conditions for Running the DTC
DTCs P0068, P0069, P0095, P0096, P0097, P0098, P0106, P0107, P0108, P0112, P0113, P0117, P0118, P0120, P0121, P0125, P0128, P0130, P0131, P0132, P0133, P0134, P0135, P0136, P0137, P0138, P0140, P0141, P0220, P0442, P0443, P0449, P0452, P0453, P0496, P0502, P0562, P0563, P0641, P0651, P1133, P1134 are not set.
The engine is running.
The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts.
The barometric pressure (BARO) is more than 74 kPa.
The fuel level is between 15-85 percent.
The start-up engine coolant temperature (ECT) is between 4-65°C (39-149°F).
The start-up intake air temperature (IAT) is between 4-75°C (39-167°F).
The start-up ECT and IAT are within 8°C (16°F) of each other.
DTC P0455 runs once per cold start drive cycle once the above conditions are met.
Conditions For Setting the DTC
The EVAP system is not able to achieve or maintain vacuum during the diagnostic test for up to 13 minutes.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
Diagnostic Aids
To help locate intermittent leaks, use the J 41413-200 Evaporative Emissions System Tester (EEST) to introduce smoke into the EVAP system. Move all EVAP components while observing smoke with a J 41413-SPT High Intensity White Light. Introducing smoke in 15-second intervals will allow less pressure into the EVAP system.

A temporary blockage in the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve, purge pipe or EVAP canister could cause an intermittent condition. Inspect and repair any restriction in the EVAP system.
To improve the visibility of the smoke exiting the EVAP system, observe the suspected leak area from different angles with a J 41413-SPT .
