    p0455 code, and need an explanation of the evap system and one way valves

    I keep throwing a p0455 code, for large evap leak
    on my 1997 1.5 with 130K

    of course I replaced the gas cap, but that wasn't it
    the leak is larger

    intelli fix, is recommending the canister drain cut valve....
    I've pulled the fender liner a couple of times and inspected all of the lines and connections
    I've also lightly pressurized the gas tank (7-8 psi) and sprayed soapy water on all of the lines and connections

    none of the connections are leaking
    some of the 1 way valves show soap bubbles

    I'm not certain though of the working steps of the 3 different one way valves and two different electrical connections in the system
    I realize it could actually be a failed pressure sensor with no leak really existing....

    does anyone have a laymans explanation (pictures?) of the evap system in the back of the car/tank.

    I will then need to next move to the front/engine bay part of the system also
    but so far nothing visually stands out.

    Pinch the line for the purge solenoid valve and run a test. If it passes the solenoid valve needs replacing
