O2 sensor and evap solenoid

I have replaced the O2 sensor on my 2004 chev cavalier and it still reads the O2 sensor is bad. And i am getting an evap system (large leak) code which i replaced the evap(purge) solenoid and still get the code. What else could cause these codes?

  • bmoore1 Dec 17, 2009

    i did. i have replaced the valve solenoid and pre-cat o2 sensor but lights are still on. i have a code PO113 which should be the air intake temp sensor. Do you know where that is located?

    Maybe my question is obvious but did you reset/clear the previous code after the changes?

Engine light code p0455 chev monte carlo

Hello,The problem is that the EVAP system is not able to achieve or maintain vacuum during the diagnostic testThe control module tests the evaporative emission (EVAP) system for a large leak. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor signal to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. When the conditions for running the test are met, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OPEN and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve CLOSED . This allows engine vacuum to enter the EVAP system. At a calibrated time, or vacuum level, the control module commands the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve closed, sealing the system, and monitors the FTP sensor input in order to determine the EVAP system vacuum level. If the system is unable to achieve the calibrated vacuum level, or the vacuum level decreases too rapidly, the PCM will set the code you now have.So, you either have a stuck open purge valve, a stuck open vent valve, a false reading fuel tank pressure sensor, or a cracked/broken EVAP line.

My check engine light is on and everytime i get gas my car will not start. to get the car to start i have to give it gas. i had it scanned and the check engine light is on because i have a bad evaporative...

The evap solenoid is on the charcoal canister in the fuel evap system, The no start problem can be resolved by replacing the Purge Control Valve, Hyundai p/n 28910-22040. These are warranty items. The O2 sensor trouble code was probably from the over rich fuel mixture caused by the other problems. Wait til after the other items are fixed and then watch for the O2 sensor trouble code to reappear.

A code P0420 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Leaded fuel was used where unleaded was called for
  • An oxygen sensor is not reading (functioning) properly
  • The engine coolant temperature sensor is not working properly
  • Damaged or leaking exhaust manifold / catalytic converter / exhaust pipe
  • Retarded spark timing
  • The oxygen sensors in front and behind the converter are reporting too similar of readings

A code P0131 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
  • Faulty o2 oxygen sensor
  • Short to voltage on O2 signal circuit
  • High resistance or open on O2 signal circuit

A code P0446 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
  • Bad vacuum switch
  • Broken or damaged EVAP line or canister
  • Open in PCM purge command circuit
  • Open or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid
  • Faulty purge solenoid
  • Restriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canister
  • Corrosion or resistance in purge connector
