Thank you... weirdly I knew my gas cap used to click but it just stopped and I never gave it a thought... and now I'm here looking for a reason why my check engine light is on... thank you you keep it simple and real.. I appreciate the time you took to educate bmw owners for DIY

@beefystik I started at 4,000 ft. Computer controlled and fuel injected vehicles adapt quickly. MOST vehicles of that description have a save start up program that is inefficient, but will start reliably. Old carbureted Toyota Land Cruisers used to have an easy adjust jetting for high altitude trips. As for my truck- never a hiccup.

I'm on a ship in the Ocean right now with no cars. I'd recommend checking your filler neck hoses and your evap canister for holes/leaks. P0455 is often caused by corroded filler tube to hose or by road debris impact to the black plastic charcoal can.

Great vid as usual. A suggestion on a vid. I have ran across this problem very few time but it does happen. Where do you start on a car when the ALDL connector does not communicate with your scan tool? The scan tool powers up but tool says no data available and can not retrieve trouble codes when MIL is on. Oh yeah I tried 3 different scan tools. Maybe a vid on selecting a good scan tool as well LOL.

You may need to. Double check your filler neck hoses and your evap tube from the tank first to make sure they aren't leaking. If they're good you may want to drop the tank.

@1ownjoo2 Water or H2O is a normal by-product of the combustion process. Gasoline is Hydro Carbons or hydrogen and Carbon. Oxygen in sucked in too. Out the tail pipe you should have CO2, N, and H2O if you're perfectly efficient. HC CO CO2 O2 N NO2 and H2O are all common.

@Bonfield2002 I have. It was a bad PCM. If there's no power/ no communication like I see every month on Chevy trucks it's a fuse. In your case where you did have power and no communication it's usually a bad PCM or a poorly connected PCM. What YMM was it?

Nice video. Can you add a video OR an explanation for a resolution to a code P0442 that is NOT related to a gas cap replacement? You mention you checked for "hose leaks". Can you illustrate that? is that something a layman can do? Any steps to do so? Also, if we do a gas cap replacement, how long does it take for the auto's computer to reset itself? Meaning it no longer thinks the OLD cap is connected?

@1ownjoo2 YES caster affect tow and Camber both. The main reason for caster is so the car will drive straight at speed. If you don't have enough it's squirrelly and if it's too much you can have bad tire wear and steering is harder. In the PM you sent me I meant to say toe and camber. I may have said caster- I'm super tired right now.

The tricky thing about this kind of symptom is to sort out what is the cause and what is an effect. In this case you solved the problem by replacing the gas cap, but I would have wondered whether the pressure inside the tank was too high. Could this have been caused by a kinked evap line, or a clogged evap cylinder? Is the internal resistance of that evap line so high that air and gas want to go the wrong way? Or, would the computer have detected that possiblity and produced a different code?

Also if you can find a rubber washer to fit the gas cap to make it seal tighter that will work. Typically I find previous owners screw on the cap improperly and it bends the metal where the cap seats. Bend it with a tool.

Its like something gets stuck or doesn't want to move.

But I bought this car off of my s-i-l and going through her receipts shows that the dealership did an adjustment 14 years and 150,000 miles ago at a cost of 1 hour labor and a v/c gasket.
