Gas cap P0440 or a P0455


Recommended Posts

Just for kicks and because I feel that there may be an EVAP situation that isn't being monitored. I took off my gas cap and ran the car for 10 miles. I really expected that I would see a P0440 or a P0455 code because no gas cap is a rather large leak.

 

With such a large leak and no code I wonder if I have a wiring problem. I didn't do the transplant on the car, it was done before I bought it. I've been wondering if some of my running problems are wiring related? Getting no code may mean that something isn't being monitored.

 

Any ideas why I would not get a code?

some faults, lots of faults take 2 drive cycles to set a code.

 

what year, model, engine, trans, miles?

 

so you have this car that is not throwing any codes and you are trying to make it throw a code in the hopes that it will lead to to a better running car?

 

tell us more about how your car is running ,

what is it doing?

what is it not doing?

 

what swap?

It will throw other codes.

 

I just wanted to see if it would throw the gas cap code. I drove it 10 miles one day and the 11 miles the next day, it never threw the code.

Mileage on engine - transplant - unknown
