1998 Mazda 626 Failed Smog Test With Code P0455

I am having to fix a Mazda 626 1998 EVAP gross gas leak, can you help me?

ProTech:
I sure can try…what seems to be the trouble?

Smog failed test, a EVAP system gas leak.

Things that usually cause a large EVAP leak are a loose or bad gas cap, a stuck open vent valve, a bad purge solenoid, or a break or crack somewhere in the EVAP system and lines.

P0455 EVAP control system gross leak detected is what i was told.

Yes that’s the code it would set.

How would i fix this?

Well without some special equipment, you will basically have to guess at parts until you get it right. You really need a nitrogen or smoke machine that attaches to the EVAP system to find the leak. Check that the gas cap is sealing and tightening good. This is a common problem for code P0455 EVAP leak.


Replaced TCM  now car wont move

I have a Mazda 5 and I just replaced my TCM with a refurbished one and I went to go test drive it and when I put it in drive I pushed the gas pedal and my car wouldnt move. Any ideas on what it could be? Engine and AT light are on.


Mx5 wont crank

My Mazda mx5 won’t crank. We have replaced the battery and also the starter motor. Still doesn’t work. We have checked the ignition switch too and cleaned it and it still won’t work. We don’t know what else to try. Please help.
