Q: Engine code p0455

asked by on December 07, 2017

I took my car to auto zone to run a scan for my engine light. I got the code which suggested me to change my fuel cap. I just down that and had the engine light reset but so far it has not gone off yet. I guess I have to drive it a cycle or two. I also had an engine code for my intake air sensor. I had a wire fixed that was connected to it. The engine light went off for a couple days but then re occurred. This was before I even got the code p0455. Any ideas ?? Thanks.

My car has 184000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
