Hey all! I recently got this code upon checking why my cel came on. I had the cel on for awhile and knew according to the code it was for either one of the 02 sensors or catalytic converter. So I finally did downstream o2 sensor but the light came back rather quick after that. I did try cleaning it first. Then did the upstream one and it stayed off for a good bit but then came back on. Checked the code and this time I got the p1457 code indicating a leak in the evap canister area. Did some quick research on that and bought the canister bypass valve or purge valve solenoid (I noticed it’s called different things by different places). By the time it came in and I got under there to do the job I realized the old one- that rounder piece the two screws connect the solenoid to actually was cracked as well by the inner screw (which was rusted to hell anyhow) so I bought that piece too. Didn’t even bother to try and take those two pieces apart. Reinstalled the whole setup and now I’ve just been waiting/hoping for the cel to clear itself. I drove over 45 miles already with highway driving included. And I’m not sure if it will clear now. I read different things on this- some disconnect the battery ( I did not). I didn’t cuz I read that it should take two drive cycles and it will clear itself if problem no longer exists. Should I try disconnecting the battery now? Also read to watch and make sure how much fuel you have in the tank- like you should have 50-75%, anyone know about this? I had a full tank when the light came on and just now got it down to half.
I know there can be a leak in hoses or elsewhere so I’ll plan on tracing those out more and getting a closer look at them but when I was down there I didn’t see anything obvious in the canister area. I obviously had to remove the hoses and those areas looked fine. I can attach a pic of the finished job. Ha please tell me if I connected the hose opposite of what they should be. I made the mistake of not marking one and my before pic was with the plastic covering on. But that pic helped to an extent I think and I went based off of that where the hose on the left actually goes up and around the one on the right.
