Hi, Ive got a 2007 Boxster with 102k miles. The check engine light went on. Never saw it before. It says I should 'visit workshop'. Thanks to a poster here i got an OBD scanner and was able to get the error code: P0455 Powertrain - Evaporative Emission Control system leak detected. So the first thing I did was make sure the gas cap wasn't loose. I opened it and closed it a few times, making sure its clicked. That didn't fix it. Is there anything else I can try before I take it to a shop? thanks
