Pacifica EVAP problem: codes p0455, p0456, and p0457
I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica with some kind of EVAP system leak. I'm getting codes P0455, 0456, and 0457 and the "gascap" reminder on the odometer display. The gas cap is brand new so I'm pretty sure its not leaking. I've checked all of the places suggested in other posts: the hoses under the air filter box, hoses going to the purge solenoid, and hoses going to the charcoal canister and they are all perfectly fine. It seems like it would be a pretty big leak to get all three of these codes plus the "gascap" indicator so I can't figure out why its not easier to find. Does anyone have any ideas on where else to look for a leak?

I had the same prob on my 05 and it was the hose on the fuel pump. The passenger side pump sits at a angle and pulls on the hose so the plastic broke on top. Had to drop 400+ on a new pump.

It's not the pump that's the problem, it's the hose that goes across the top of the tank. Over time it shrinks and gets shorter, then it breaks off the nipple on the pump. The only way to make it fit again is to force it. If they didn't modify it, it will happen again.
I finally broke down and decided to check the fuel pump. The nozzle on the pump had broken off just like other people have reported. Its the nozzle that points up towards the front of the car, it had cracked right off. I was able to reattach it for now but I suppose I'll have to buy a whole new fuel pump and come up with a way to attach it so it doesn't break again.
How do I get to the pump, is it something I could do on my own with little tools? What typs of tools would I need? How do I go about modifying the tubing or hose? I really need detail instructions, thank you for helping.

Please post detailed instructions on how I could get to the pump and would a standard car jack be enough do the job?
