P1457 = A gently Reminder to Check your Gas Cap
Hi Aziners!
Well this is a quick Rant about code P1457 = "EVAP Leak"..
Normally this code will mean your EVAP Canister got hit by a rock or its probably old enough to leak naturally thus the ECU will throw a happy P1457! But sometimes it can also means your Gas Cap is simply loose.
I usually go to Self Service Gas Stations that is why this doesn`t happen because I like to give 3 Full Turns to my Gas Cap (As per Honda OEM Gas Cap) they do a loud click noise which is a torque limiter and it isnt fully closed until you give it 3 good turns..
Well last night I went to those now Odd and Mysterious Clerk Filled Stations and the Clerk was kind enough to fill the car for me.. When he was done he did a Half Turn and closed the Gas Cap gate.. I went back home and all went fine, This morning went to work and Voilà! A weird "Check" light turned On in my Dash.. Baffled on why this little light turned On I went to my closest Autozone and pulled the codes.. Just a Single one = P1457! then I remember I went to a Clerk Fill station and decided to do what I do in those cases...
Pull Clock Fuse, Close Gas Cap Tightly, Install Clock Fuse and Done.. Check Engine was gone and my car was idling like crap like it always do when I reset the ECU.
So this is a gently reminder to tightly close your gas cap on every fill up! or a Nasty P1457 might pop up on you! And this also helps if P1457 suddenly appears over night? Who knows? It might just be a loose gas cap

^ I have to withstand that treatment every time I go to México, Since all of them are Clerk Fills... I hate when they slam the gas hose like it was a toy or something, The entire car shakes when they do that...

I know the procedure fatty.. I am just to lazy/desperate to idle for 5 minutes specially outside an Autozone... The car re-learn its idle just with driving (Been there, done that many times before).
