Hey gang -
I have a 2003 Tahoe LT 4x4 with 52k. Last weekend I got a check engine light. I checked it on Saturday, got the code and cleared it to see if it was just a fluke. The code was P0455 which is defined as "Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (gross leak)"
The light came back on today so I know I definitely have a problem. I did a couple searches here and found this thread http://www.tahoeforum.com/showthread.php?t=9286
which suggests an obstruction in a vent line.
Unfortunately the original poster didn't reply with any results so I'm not sure if that is worth tracking down. I've got a great mechanic who can help me with this but if it is something simple, I'd like to try it myself.
Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT - it looks as though my post would be more appropriate in the "Technical Discussions" forum...I can't seem to figure out how to move it. If a mod/admin can make that happen, I'd appreciate it. Sorry for the foul up.
