Ok. To start, check engine light, and check gas cap light has been on for awhile. Changed cap multiple times. Also, SOMETIMES at start, my car needs a little gas or it sometimes stalls. Usually if I turn the key and let the fuel pump full turn on it's fine.

But I got this:

P0455 - Evap Emission Control System Leak (Large)

P1258 - Manufacturer Control Fuel Air Metering


Could you give me the possibilities of what these 2 things could be?

I got the money now to fix everything so, I would like to get everything together and running good.

Thanks..

Eeyup,you've got a big vacuum leak in the EVAP system.

Vacuum leak? So just a simple line then?

Is the the Emission code or the Fuel Air code?

The purge for the EVAP system feeds into the inlet after the MAF.
One code tells me you have improper fuel metering - I'm guessing MAF related.
The other says large control system leak.

I would start looking at the connection for the EVAP system at the intake end and look backwards from there.

Alright. Thanks a lot!

When I went to Advanced to use their scanner, one of the guys their said that the P1258 code may be MAF related also so, hopefully that's it. New MAF sensor $85. Not too bad. lol

I was thinking that a vacuum leak *AFTER* the MAF was causing errant readings.
The leak sounds like it's in the evap system.
Sorry if I wasn't clear. :smile:

Well the leak yes. But the other code with the Fuel Air problem I was thinking maybe the MAF sensor itself but, i guess I'll just have to check it out
