Cel!

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Ok, after the exhaustive cleaning of the PCV and the throttle body (actually the cleaning was the easy part) I got the dreaded CEL.
Code is P0455. Leak in emissions?
I had it cleared. Could it be related to my my fab of the plastic pipe under my PCV thread?
Related to the fuel injector rail cover I had trouble with? (I saw on an earlier thread about relating to gas?)
I noticed when it was cleared, the car ran much better. When it was on, the turbo did not seem to kick in. Maybe the car goes into safe mode like Windows?
Let me know, and thanks for your help.

Well, the CEL has come back on but when you refer to the valve, its on the drivers side of the cooling fan? Or a cooling fan on drivers side separate from the one at the front?
I have noticed my gas mileage is poor (15mpg) could that be related or is it something separate. (I am worried I am leaking gas from the fuel rail as I had trouble getting it on but dont smell gas)
Please advise, thanks.

Well, I took apart the fuel rail again and I had an injector that was loose. I tightened everything and now I have the normal 20 mpg again. So, that is good. I cleared the CEL so maybe that was related. I remember getting a weird check your gascap message prior to the CEL and before I fixed the injector. Lets hope it was related <crosses fingers>

Tech et al-
Ok, got the CEL light once more. Now, I did get the check gas cap warning again and then the CEL came on. So, I believe it might be related to the gas cap. I checked my gas cap but it looked fine. There are some small aging cracks around the gasket so maybe that could be it?
Also, I have been reading the purge canister valve could be bad. I believe my hoses are ok but the one running to the top of the intake mainfold is very slightly kinked? Could that be it?
I am going to try the gascap today. Keep you posted.
