well if your replaced it and your 100% that was the problem your supposed to get the code cleared after fixing it. this can be done by disconnecting the negitive of your battery for like 30 minutes or go getting it done from a obdII sensor. goodluck

The most likely causes for this code to be set are:
Loose fuel cap.
Fuel cap relief pressure is incorrect.
Fuel overflow limiter valve failed.
Purge line or vapor line is clogged.
Fuel tank, purge line or vapor line seal failed.
Evaporative emission purge solenoid valve failed.
Evaporative emission ventilation solenoid valve failed.
Fuel tank differential pressure sensor failed.
Evaporative emission canister seal is faulty.
Evaporative emission canister is clogged.
Loose fuel cap.
Fuel cap relief pressure is incorrect.
Fuel overflow limiter valve failed.
Purge line or vapor line is clogged.

Also where did u get ur new fuel cap. Alot of the time unless you get the exact one from mits then the code will still be there cause the aftermarket ones dont fit up as tight.

If this issue still exists, you will need to find a smoke machine or go to a shop that has one. There is no other way to diagnose this problem other than to guess and throw parts at it. The smoke machine will pressurize the emissions system with a highly visible white smoke, and the source of the leak will be clearly evident. If you can do this yourself by borrowing a machine, make sure to clamp off the canister vent hose, as it is normal for smoke to escape here.
If you can't do that or don't want to pay for it, and you just want to guess, then I would try an EVAP purge valve first.

My dang P0455 light started going off, I changed the gas cap...but it's popped up again. I guess it's either try to check the lines or take it to get a smoke machine test....I need to get the car inspected, so I'm just going set the obd2 stuff to "pass" for now, and fix this later, as long as the code isn't on, hopefully it'll pass.
