So many people have come in with a problem in this system and had no idea what is going on. I have had to explain this more times than I can count. If your car smells like gas, has a check engine light, or throws codes like P0440, P0442, or P0455, you might be dealing with an EVAP system issue. In this video, we explain what the Evaporative Emissions System does, how it works, and the most common reasons it fails.
🧪 What you’ll learn:
What the EVAP system is and why it exists
How it traps and recycles fuel vapors
Most common failure points: purge valve, vent valve, gas cap, charcoal canister
How a loose gas cap triggers the check engine light
Common EVAP-related trouble codes (P0440, P0441, P0442, P0455, P0456)
Symptoms of a bad EVAP system (gas smell, CEL, poor performance)
Diagnosing small vs large leaks
Why EVAP issues can affect emissions tests
How modern vehicles monitor fuel vapor integrity
Perfect for owners of Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, and other modern vehicles. If you’re chasing an annoying CEL or trying to pass an emissions test, this video will help you understand and fix EVAP problems.
⚠️ Don’t ignore EVAP codes—they might seem small, but they can point to real leaks and system failures.
