Hi:

Could MIL code P1457 be gas-cap related?

Thanks.

Could be a leak in the evap system somewhere. Possibly cap related. Are you in the habit of over filling the tank. This forces gas in the evap system damaging it. Evap vent solenoid possibly leaking. Broken hose. For other possibilities do a google search..

P1457 flags an evap system leak near canister. It could be the gas cap, but there have been some problems with bad canisters and assocated control valves.

Thank you. I guess I'll have to do some further testing to pinpoint the problem. Thanks again.
