It is probably the evap vent valve. A new vent solenoid valve has been redesigned to correct the problem you are having. I would recommend purchasing the dealer component.
I hope this helps.

P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (large leak), remove and inspect the gas cap, if it looks ok,, have it checked, replace it if it doesn't pass the test, they should have tested this when doing the smog check, that code is usually a bad gas cap,, but can be a leak detected in the evap system, I failed once due to the test being done inside with no airflow, so do a visual inspection of the fuel system venting,, and replace any cracked tubes that look bad

Check engine code p0455

P0455 means a gross leak detected in the Evaporative Emissions System. Some call this a "gas cap" code, because the most common cause a loose or failed gas cap. But it could be caused by any vapor leak in the fuel tank, filler neck, or anywhere else in the vapor management system. If it isn't a gas cap, you will need tol take it someplace where they have a smoke machine that can find the leak using smoke.

I have a 2010 Chevy impala. Reduced engine power and check engine light also comes on but won't stay on. Codes are P2138 P2122 P0455

Hi Rosalee_IM,
The codes your vehicle is storing are for low voltage from your accelerator pedal position sensor and a gross evaporative emission leak. The code P2122 and P2138 are directing you to test the accelerator pedal position circuit and/ or sensor. This is the cause of the reduced power concern you are feeling.The P0455 is telling you there is a large leak in the evaporative emission system. The most common cause for this code is a loose or incorrectly installed gas cap.I hope this helps clarify the concerns you are experiencing. If you'd like more information on how to trouble shoot the problems,drop me a line. Please include the model Impala you have,(LS,LT or LTZ) and the engine size. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as possible.Thanks, Chuck

I have a 2006 Chevy Tahoe...codes reported are P0449 and P0455....replaced fuel cap but did not solve problem....what are my next steps without spending tons of money at a dealership? Thanks

There may be an emissions leak but a very common issue is the canister vent valve. Make sure if you contact your local dealership that you have your vehicles vin number available.

    Getting codes P0455 and P0449. From what I read,

    The vent solenoid valve has been redesigned to correct the problem you are having. I would recommend purchasing the dealer component.
    I am not aware of any aftermarket parts suppliers.
