No! I haven't bought more than my fuel can contain. I wonder the correlation with P0455 code. Thanks

If the tank is overfilled, fuel is likely to spill into the EVAP charcoal canister which degrades the charcoal and can cause any of the valves/solenoids to fail. If it fails, fuel vapour cannot reach the engine and the ECU reads it as a large leak.

Usually, replacing the EVAP purge valve fixes the p0455 error code but one must avoid the bad habit of overfilling the fuel tank to preserve the lifespan of the EVAP canister. Discontinue filling the tank at the first click.

Clear code and see if it returns.

Thank you for the clarification. I cleared the code once but it returned.
Research has shown that purge valve solenoid on the throttle body is often responsible for small leaks while Evap canister Vent valve is often the cause of large leaks.
How/where can I get the genuine replacement part for the vent valve?

Thank you for your contributions. I have changed radiator ECT sensor. Fuel economy has slightly improved

Sir, I have the same issue with my Honda Civic 2007. where and how much did you get the ect sensor under the radiator, please?

op, the Ect sensor you changed, i'm guessing it is the one visible at the top close to the engine. That is the wrong one. The car has two, there is one at the bottom of the radiator, get that one replaced and you're home free, your engine will start just fine at cold start and your fuel economy will improve. From a honda civic user who also changed the top one thrice but the code kept returning before i eventually discovered the car had another attached to the radiator base. Cheers

Ps: shey na from me you buy Autel MS309 ni..lol. I sell/distribute the product, including to buyers from here on nland. If it was bought/sent from Ibadan, then na me. OK bye
