I keep getting a "P0457 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected" code on my 2003. I did the easy thing first and replaced the gas cap with a new one from Ford. As soon as I satisfy the test cycle the pending code comes back.
Are there any other obvious/common places to look for this leak? I thought I'd ask here before I take it somewhere for a "smoke test".
Also, I'm trying to get all the emissions readiness monitors to run so I can take it in for the emissions test. Other than this EVAP monitor the CAT readiness test has not run (nor has it set any pending codes). I think I read somewhere that the EVAP test has to complete before the CAT one will run. Anybody know if this is true? Thanks!
