    A few months ago I purchased my 07 legacy gt. Saturday night i was coming home from work and my CEL came on..great...and of course SOG not open on Sundays and it being labor day weekend..SOG service not open on Monday...I understand..will needs a day off =) ....just couldn't of happened at a more inconvenient time.....so I had to go rent me something to get around in...Pontiac G6..needless to say I'm hating life right now!! ... P0457 evap control system leak was the code..its been over half a tank a gas since I last opened closed the gas cap...I'm sure its just something tiny, yet don't want to chance it!!! not sure the point of this thread....just venting i suppose....little upset at only having 8k on completely stock car..ya know?
    Hope you all have a great and safe labor day weekend!!..

    Thats the infamous loose gas cap code.

    Its in the FSM as that. I shit you not.

    Go to the cap, tighten it SEVERAL clicks (10 or more)...aka, like crank it down a whole turn past where it starts to tighten.

    Alltho, if you've got the new style cap that sorta slides into a 'slot' and slides out of the 'slot'...make sure to crank down on it anyhow.

    Then reset the ECU.

    If the code comes back, then bring it to SOG and we'll check it out.

    We have ppl that come in on a daily basis with that code, 99.9999% of the time its a loose cap. That 0.0001% is an older high mileage car from up north with a small rust hole somewhere either in the evap lines, or on top of the gas tank.
