PO456 Check Engine Light

[Mark Weaver]

I hope this info is helpful for someone, as this great websit has been for me.

Check Engine Light was checked out to be a PO456 - Small EVAP emissions leak. The only way to locate was to have dealer test w/smoke machine. A small pinhole was found in the plastic emissions hose that mounts right beside the radiator. The hose was routed from the factory and was rubbing against a metal tube that caused the hole.

Charge for all this was $267. Cost for the part was only $48, the smoke test was $94 and the rest in labor.
