I was pretty sure I was a member here but had to create a new account?
Anyway....
‘03 200,000 miles.
Just replaced the fuel pump about 2 months ago and started getting P0455 code.
Purchased a new fuel cap (not original clicky one but the quarter turn Ford one) and code went away.
About 2 weeks ago code returned again.
Sooo,
What should I be looking at?
Easiest to hardest I guess:
Is the quarter turn Ford fuel cap not the correct one?
Checked all under hood solenoid hoses and sprayed started fluid around to hear for idle increase. Not able to find a leak or cracked/broken hose like I have in the past. Large leak so I checked manifold hoses etc and no go.
Solenoid in rear is a bitc$ to get to but not sure if maybe that is it?
Ugh...I don’t wanna drop the tank again BUT could I have not replaced one of the hoses to the top of the tank or even sealed the tank gasket properly? Pretty sure I was very careful about sealing it all back up but you never know.
Wifey doesn’t wanna drive the truck at all until it is fixed. I told her it’s fine to drive but I’ve told her to never drive with engine light on so she is doing what I told her
Any thoughts/suggestions? Truck has been really good to us. Synthetic from the start and I’ve kept up on all maintenance.
