P0442 & P0456 TOYOTA - SMALL EVAP LEAK - FIXED! (NOT GAS CAP) DIY SMOKE MACHINE - 2004 AVALON 

And now i got a spare

same here ~ what was the hose size you used to replace?

I'd start with the Vapor control valve, then move to the canister.

@@nec4480 Turned out to be several small hoses I couldn't see. One near the air box and one near the canister.

@@rkgsd Glad you solved the issue

Thank you for your service!

5/16'' was too loose for mine (2003 Toyota Avalon). I used 1/4" and it fit perfectly.

@@user-hn3gq9ir1m are you referring to the replacement hose or the hoses for the smoke machine?

I’m tempting to try but that’s allota rips if I don’t find the right hose 😂

Just a side note. I went into a local repair shop in a franchise called Canadian Tire. They were going to charge me $160 (before taxes) just to read the code(s) that triggered the engine light. Nothing fixed or repaired, just a print out of any error codes and what selection of other issues that could be causing that. That's what made me more determined than ever to buy my own code reader. So glad I did it does a plenitude of other features. Battery condition checks which is essential in cold winter climates. Trip monitors, testing your driving style and the efficiency of the performance during a speed test. I'm not sure if it'll connect to my PC or if there's any need. Cheers.

'Honest' and 'repair shop'...good one!

@@Themassofmenlead No. But I found out that the issue was the vapor canister purge valve. PO456 is gone now.

I guess Im pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released movies online ?

@Samson Aaron flixportal :D

@Noe Bryce thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) I appreciate it !!

@Samson Aaron happy to help =)

@@carlosmatthews6652 Yes, that was the problem.

If you can find the evap test port, it usually has a green cap…try connecting it on either side of that by disconnecting the hose and putting the hose from your smoke machine on the hose that you disconnected. Best of luck to you. -Dan the Fix it Man

I believe I just took a small piece to a parts store and they did their best to match it with some generic vacuum tubing. It worked fine.

I used 5/16 or 8mm silicone hose from Amazon this is for the 3.0 2005 Camry

Doc, Thanks for watching, and for sharing. The pickle jar smoke machine is still working well! Thanks for subscribing, and I will do the same. Take care, -Dan

@@DantheFixitMan Thankyou for responding so fast. Feel free to ask me anything automotive or other wise. I'm a Jack of all trades. 😎👍🍻

The hose is rubber, but it was extremely hard and felt like hard plastic. There are metal tubes that it connects to. Best of luck to you.

@@DantheFixitManGreat, I replaced it. Thanks

Thank you, yes, It’s touching the sock. It still works great, I use it quite often. Thx for watching

Is the soldering iron on burning the sock? For the smoke

I would expect that you have a bad catalytic converter or a bad O2 sensor following the catalytic converter. The downstream O2 sensor monitors the performance of the catalytic converter. They are often replaced together. Best of luck to you! -Dan the Fix it Man

Check out the following video. I had a P0430 (same error as yours, just the other half of the engine - Bank 2). The solution for mine was the exhaust leak. An $11 flange gasket solved my problem 2 years ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RAC0E6apXq0.html

Oh Honey, I'm sorry. That's going to end up being one mother of a pricey repair. It's already 20 yrs old. How many more miles are you expecting to get out of it?? Clean her up n sell for parts, then use use the money to buy something newer. They have some awesome options on the later models. Or you could go environmentally friendly and get a Hydrid or go fully electric. But if you get a Tesla you gotta come pick me up for a cruise. Deal? 😎

Best self explanatory and straight forward fix problem; replacement.

@@KewlQT20 years? I have vehicles that have only 50,000 miles with that many years, other two have 120,000-151,000. If it’s a Toyota those cars are basically not even halfway through their life cycle. Nowadays when you buy something “new” you are paying not only double the worth of the vehicle, but also paying for subscription services for items that are supposed to come with the price of buying a brand new car! Since when is it necessary for car manufacturing company to charge people extra money for the privledge of accessing an auto start that’s already installed on a vehicle! Some of these car companies make you pay a subscription so your phone can send a signal to satellite back down to some server, back up and back down to your car so you can start a vehicle that’s only 100 ft away or so. If you don’t have access to the internet then you can’t start your car remotely, and even if you are 5 ft away you still can’t start your car that way because the what you really are paying for is access to the stupid software that’s already pre installed with the hardware on the car you already bought. ABSOLUTELY a waste and no sane American is going to buy into that crap. No same American would want to buy any new vehicle considering the outsourcing has gone to 100%foreign third world countries that pay their workers peanuts per day. That 50,000 dollar car or 100,000 dollar truck is not only priced double what a late 2,000s model vehicle is, it’s also half as reliable and twice as likely to fall apart before the warranty and equally as likely the car companies do not honor them.

Hi Larry, Great question. It will still show smoke farther back at the tank as long as you put it on the line going back to the tank. I have used this to successfully find a leaking rollover valve in a camry recently. It's a little harder to see sometimes, but it will work.

That works too

That works great if the leak is 2 feet away...however the leak is by the gas tank, good luck with a vape pen lol. The vapor dissipates way before it hits that area. The smoke machine this guy made will work, but barely at that distance. Definitely need a bike pump to push the smoke that far.
