    I have a 97 Hyundai Elantra with a 1.8 DOHC motor with 150K miles on
    it. I am getting ODB2 error code P0455 and the check light is on. I
    am using a carchip from davisnet.com to read the codes. I have reset
    the light once but it came back on in like three days or so, about 100
    miles or so. I had the car in for the gas cap recall and they replaced
    the cap. I think that was like 30 or 40 K miles ago? The car appears
    to run about the same as it ever has.

    Should I just get another cap? What else would cause this code.

    Thanks for your time/help with this.

    This code means that the car cannot vacuum the evap system during its self
    test. This can be caused one of two ways, either by a leak (such as a
    missing/loose/defective fuel cap) or by preventing the vacuum from
    reaching the tank and sensor (possibly due to stuck closed purge valve or
    other blockage).

    Used the shop manual and checked the purge valve. The valve resistance
    reads good and moves when voltage is applied. Don't know if voltage is
    getting to valve?

    When should I see voltage to valve? Still need to check overall vac
    off motor. Also need to see how much new flue cap from dealer is.

    Thanks for the help so far.
