2005 Cheap Liberty


Car came in cause it failed SMOG due to the MIL being on.

Codes set-

P0442
P0445

Gas cap a tight. Customer really wanted to get a SMOG and was waiting.

WWYD?

quick visual of the EVAP system, starting at the tank filler tube and ending in the engine bay.  BIG flashlight and a clean mirror.

Car is a LDP system

usually with evap codes i clear everything run monitors and pass smog. if the customer has monies and wants to fix then i takes a gander.

plastic evap lines i assume? havent worked on an ldp system yet but id seperate the system from front to back , smoke both sides. if both sides are cool then i go see how the system runs the monitor, make sure wiring is good, manually actuate sols and motors, then chuck ldp r&r and cross your fingers that it doesnt come back. 

its prolly the same as all ldp systems but i hardly have time to look stuff up.

the latest trend has been lube techs breaking purge sols when changing air filters.

The next step I took was to clear codes. Then Chrysler, god love em, gives you the ability to force the EVAP monitor to test run. Then check one trip codes for a fault.

P0455 large evap leak

Still present


What do you think, smokey?

since LDP relies on the pump for testing, does the pump have power and ground?  check fuses, check B+ and G at the pump, then current ramp the pump as i'm thinking the pump isn't pumping...

That's great thought, pump is fine though.

Someone mentioned smoke earlier. Let's go that way.

Give LDP vac, command solenoid, give it smoke.

Nothing, although smoke was eventually the answer.

Nothing too complex
