P0455 leak large

The check engine light went off on it's own ? Before replacing the purge solenoid did you test the evap system by smoke checking ? Would have other code's besides P0455 if purge solenoid was bad. DTC P0455: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Large Leak Detected
• Inspect for a loose, missing, damaged, or incorrect fuel fill cap.
• Inspect for a damaged fuel filler neck seal surface.
• A blockage or restriction in the EVAP purge solenoid valve, purge pipe, EVAP canister, or vapor pipe, can cause this DTC to set.
• The EVAP system can be filled with smoke more quickly and completely by opening the system opposite the end where the smoke is injected. For example, when injecting smoke at the service port remove the fuel fill cap, or temporarily leave the vent open, until smoke is observed, then close the system and continue testing. If using a fuel cap adapter at the filler neck, use the J 41413-VLV at the service port to allow the system to fill faster.
• To help locate intermittent leaks using the J 41413-200 , move all EVAP components while observing smoke with the J 41413-SPT .
• Individual components can be isolated and tested using adapters in the J 41413-300 .
• A condition may exist where a leak in the EVAP system only exists under a vacuum condition. This type of leak may be detected by using the scan tool Purge/Seal function to create a vacuum in the EVAP system and then observe the FTP parameter for vacuum decay.

I'm not sure what part to buy or where to find it. Can't find this answer anywhere online. Please help. This is code p0446 and non other.

code p0455 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system--large leak detected===causes--hose connection/s--intake leak---EVAP cannister--EVAP canister purge valve
first check that the filler cap is on correctly ,tight and sealing

Possible causes
- Missing or loose fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks
- EVAP system hose leaking
- Fuel tank leaking
What does this mean? Tech notes
The P0455 it's a very common code, because the code is set if the gas cap is loose or missing. Start by tighten the gas cap and clearing the code. In most cases the code can be clear by disconnecting the car battery for about 30 minutes.
What does this mean? When is the code detected?
Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) control system has a very large leak such as fuel filler cap fell off, EVAP control system does not operate properly.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Possible a noticeable fuel odor caused by the release of fuel vapors
P0455 Mitsubishi Description
This diagnosis detects leaks in the Evaporative Emission System (EVAP) purge line using engine intake manifold vacuum. If pressure does not increase, the Engine Control Module (ECM) will check for leaks in the line between the fuel tank and EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve under the following vacuum test condition.
The vacuum cut valve bypass valve is opened to clear the line between the fuel tank and the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve. The EVAP canister vent control valve will then be closed to shut the EVAP purge line off. The EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is opened to depressurize the EVAP purge line using intake manifold vacuum. After this depressurization is implemented, the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve will be closed.

Could be a number of things...rusty filler neck, or a bad "vent solenoid." These are more common. The evap system closes once you are driving it to send fuel vapors to a charcoal canister, and if it can't due to a leak, your check engine light will go on.

P0455 - EVAP Control System Leak Detected (No Purge Flow or Large Leak) The PCM monitors the complete EVAP control system for no purge flow, the presence of a large fuel vapor leak or multiple small fuel vapor leaks. The system failure occurs when no purge flow (attributed to fuel vapor blockages or restrictions), a large fuel vapor leak or multiple fuel vapor leaks are detected by the EVAP running loss monitor test with the engine running (but not at idle).

• After-market EVAP hardware (such as fuel filler cap) non-conforming to required specifications
• Disconnected or cracked fuel EVAP canister tube, EVAP canister purge outlet tube or EVAP return tube
• EVAP canister purge valve stuck closed
• Damaged EVAP canister
• Damaged or missing fuel filler cap
• Insufficient fuel filler cap installation
• Loose fuel vapor hose/tube connections to EVAP system components
• Blockages or restrictions in fuel vapor hoses/tubes (items also listed under disconnections or cracks)
• Fuel vapor control valve tube assembly or fuel vapor vent valve assembly blocked
• Canister vent (CV) solenoid stuck open
• Mechanically inoperative fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor

Check for audible vacuum noise or significant fuel odor in the engine compartment or near the EVAP canister and fuel tank. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- HX43 DTC P0457: CHECK FOR MISSING OR LEAKING FUEL FILLER CAP

• Check for missing fuel filler cap.
• Check for loose fuel filler cap.
• Check for possible cross-thread fuel filler cap condition.

Is a fault present concerning the proper installation of the fuel filler cap? Yes No REPLACE cross-threaded or damaged fuel filler cap. RECONNECT and TIGHTEN the fuel filler cap only one eighth turn so that the cap initially clicks by sound or touch. CLEAR Continuous Memory DTCs. COMPLETE an Evaporative Emission Running Loss Monitor Repair Verification Drive Cycle (refer to Section 2 , Drive Cycles). RERUN Quick Test . If DTC P0455 or P0457 is present, Go to HX44 . CLEAR Continuous Memory DTCs. COMPLETE an Evaporative Emission Running Loss Monitor Repair Verification Drive Cycle (refer to Section 2 , Drive Cycles). RERUN Quick Test .

For DTC P0455 still present: Go to HX44 .

Otherwise, INFORM the vehicle owner that it is important and necessary to immediately install the fuel filler cap after every refueling event. HX44 DTC P0455: VISUAL INSPECTION FOR SUBSTANTIAL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAKS

• Check for missing fuel filler cap. If the cap is loose DO NOT DISTURB EVAP system.
• Verify that both the input port vacuum hose and EVAP return tube are attached to the EVAP canister purge valve. Note: If the EVAP canister-CV solenoid assembly is not accessible during this pinpoint test step, GO to Evaporative Emissions, Section 303-13 in the Workshop Manual for removal and installation instructions.
  
• Verify that the CV solenoid is properly seated on the EVAP canister (if possible).
• Visually inspect for disconnected or cracked fuel vapor hoses/tubes between the intake manifold, the EVAP canister purge valve, the EVAP canister, the fuel vapor vent valve assembly and if applicable the fuel vapor control valve tube assembly.
• Check for damage to the fuel filler pipe and the fuel tank.

Is a fault indicated? Yes No CONNECT or REPLACE fuel vapor hoses/tubes as required. REPLACE damaged EVAP system components (fuel filler pipe, fuel vapor vent valve assembly, fuel vapor control valve tube assembly, EVAP canister purge valve, FTP sensor and EVAP canister-CV solenoid assembly) as necessary. REFER to Evaporative Emissions, Section 303-13 in the Workshop Manual for removal and installation instructions. GO to HX45 . GO to HX45 . HX45 DTC P1443 and P0455: CHECK FOR EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAKS

Note: When checking for leaks or blockages in the EVAP system, energize (close) the canister vent (CV) solenoid through the scan tool for a maximum of nine minutes per pinpoint test step. Then de-energize the CV solenoid prior to performing the subsequent pinpoint test step. This is done to assure proper closing of the solenoid.

• Disconnect and plug the EVAP return tube (EVAP canister purge valve to intake manifold) at the intake manifold vacuum source.
• Connect scan tool.
• Key on, engine off.
• Access VPWR PID. If the voltage is not 12 volts or greater, GO to HX61 .
• Locate evaporative test port [marked EVAPORATIVE SERVICE PORT DO NOT USE UNREGULATED PRESSURE ABOVE 6.89 kPa (1 PSI)] near EVAP canister purge valve or EVAP canister.
• If vehicle is not equipped with the evaporative test port, GO to HX50 .
• Install the Rotunda Evaporative Emission System Leak Tester 310-F007 (134-00056) or equivalent at the evaporative test port.
• Close CV solenoid by accessing Output Test Mode on the scan tool.
• Select ALL OFF mode and push START button.
• Regulate the nitrogen or argon gas pressure on the tester to 3.48 kPa (14 in-H 2 O).
• Follow the instructions that come with the EVAP System Leak Tester and pressurize the EVAP system.
• Perform the EVAP system leak test.

Does the pressure on the EVAP system stay above 1.99 kPa (8 in-H 2 O) and pass the leak test? Yes No GO to HX46 . REMOVE the EVAP System Leak Tester from the evaporative test port and REINSTALL the test port cap. GO to HX50 .
