I'm new here, but done a lot of searching to try to get any kind of fairly specific info in regards this CEL light and code P0455. I am well aware of being absolutely sure the gas cap is correct, and put on as it should be. I have a descent code checker, and can check and clear the codes.
My basic question is, is there a typical problem the 07 to 09 Mustangs have that I could check before biting the bullitt and taking the car in to be smoked to find where I may be getting this 'Gross Leak'? It would be nice to know, hopefully via a schematic or pics, where the canister is, and where the purge valve is. Can someone tell me what other parts to be sure to check to troubleshoot this problem. As you can imagine, having this CEL constantly keep popping up is frustrating.
This is my first Mustang! My dad bought a 1964 1/2 in the summer of '64, and at 14 years of age, I got to drive it from Denver Co to South Dakota and back on one of his business trips, around 700 miles! His had the 260 V8 with a 3 speed, red with white interior. If I only had that car today, WOW!
Thanks in advance for your help. I am going to be sure to post anything I do to try to cure this, swo there will be a complete thread for the next person that may have this problem. If you know of a thread that covers this I missed, I'm all for checking it out!
Untill then, Thanks, Terry
