[QUOTE="OldSVTGuy, post: 15042965, member: 40332"] [b]P0455 and Vapor Cannister Purge Solenoid -Solved as Found the REAL Problem[/b] The check engine light came back in spite of the gas cap so I started looking around at ALL the vapor lines. There is a larger solid line that travels from the rear of the car to the front and I started following this being the curious sort.
