P0455 is usually a gross leak.

Get to a shop that has a smoke machine.

so i took the car to the dealer ,it was the gas cap, ofcourse they said they wanna put the car back to stock well thats what the first tech said then they had another tech look at the car and he said we could fix the check engine light with 2 or 3 parts and was gonna cost me $600, so i called the dealer i bought the car from and he sends me to top level performance out in LI they fixed the car and i got the car tuned (dealer paid for all the work) but while i was there i needed to get a new fuel pump and i also got a boost controller ... and the car is actually more powerful ...sorry for such a long post

It was a pleasure working on your car!! My favorite-- white ix with the jdm rear bumper combo....

I have been flashing cars for Auto Gallery motors on Northern blvd. in Littleneck,NY for quite some time. Their customer service is second to none and I send everyone I know looking to buy a used evo there. Ask for Jermaine if you want a great deal!!

Thanks for letting us be a part of your project and I look forward to your next round of mods!!!
