Thread: P0453 runs for a couple seconds then dies

some times the canister tank just takes a crap, if its got gas inside, ( you'll have to unbolt it and shake it) then it needs to be changed.

Monday I'm all over this, thanks.

Ordered a new resistor off eBay for 35 bucks. Had it start rough as hell twice yesterday, no codes. When it finally started it ran like the timing was off, any gas choked it out and died. Several times it just turned over and didn't start at all. Fuel pump kicked on every time, it's obvious it's in high speed mode. I had a similar issue before that turned out to be the plug wires grounding out because I busted those **** plastic clips when I did the Plugs and wires and didn't think to tie them away from metal. I reinspected all those and they seemed fine. I've been driving most of today and haven't had an issue yet, the only thing I've done differently is remove the plastic cover on top of the engine and fill the tank up.

No broken lines.
No fluid sound when I shake the big canister, I took the solenoid apart and it's wet inside. I ordered a new one and will install it today. If the old one was wet, what's to keep this new one from getting wet and malfunctioning too?

P0453 still present after solenoid change. What's next? Canister? That's like 130 from the parts store. May try to find a low mile junkyard car for that.

Cleared it, drove it 5 mins, ran codes again, showed as pending. Drove it for an hour, ses came on. No longer pending, actual fault.

Still having issues. Now when I fill up the tank there's a pool of gas leaking near the drivers rear. As near as I can tell it's coming from the solenoid, because it looks wet. Do I need to replace the big canister?

Could explain the nauseating fuel smell, since it's a direct port to the tank. I'll check tomorrow.
