What was the code number the scanner produced?

Hi JFP
The error code is:
P0455 Powertrain - Evaporative Emission Control system leak detected

So far I have replaced the gas cap and the error still came back.
I also plan to replace spark plugs.
I'm considering replacing the Canister Purge Valve Solenoid
Is here a sensor that could be the culprit? And a hose?

There was another thread on Rennlist about this and a picture process of the guy diagnosing it to a cracked fuel sender. Something that isnt entirely easy to find with a smoke test. If you have the ability to check that, id recommend doing so.

You have been chasing your tail; P0455 indicates an electrical short at the EVAP canister purge valve, either the valve itself or the harness. You need to run short diagnostics on both before spending even more money swapping parts.
