p0171 Fuel Trim Lean (Bank 1)
p0455 EVAP Gross Leak
p0456 EVAP Very Small Leak
Pulled these codes about 2 weeks ago, just now getting around to looking for the problem. Dropped the spare tire today and checked the lines going in/out of the EVAP canister, all were good. We could hear the whistle but couldn't locate it on the underside. Sounded like it was coming from the passenger rear wheel well, so I pulled the inspection cover under the back seat and sprayed the FSU. Sure enough, bubbles. Looked like a scene out of Finding Nemo under there.
This O-ring should have been replaced when the FSU was replaced 3 years ago when the recall was fixed. It doesn't look like the bolts going into the FSU have even been touched since Jan 2002 when the truck rolled out of Smyrna.
Do I stand a chance of taking it to a more reputable dealer and having it repaired there under the original recall, or dare I spend $12 and try not to get all the corrosion/dirt/gunk into the fuel tank? I'll get pics later of how nasty it is.
