JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE WJ P055 EVAP CHECK ENGINE LIGHT - FIX FOR GROSS AND SMALL EMISSIONS LEAKS

[@antonchigur4299]

Can't tell you how much I appreciate videos like this where you're very specific and actually have quality camera angles and no rambling on about something totally unnecessary before you start the video 5 minutes later. Oh, and the music during the sped up bits-it's also a breath of fresh air, it wasn't some cheap generic guitar riffs.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks man! I put a lot of time in editing to entertain.. I also try to give a lot of info without rambling. Although I have rambled once or twice 🤣 I appreciate the view. I have plenty more vids for you to enjoy!

[@JBlinky67]

First time viewer. More KZbinrs need to watch your stuff and copy how relaxed you are, how you talk normal, and how you don't over pronounce anything. Big subscribe. Will now go watch your library. Thank you

[@SixtyNinersclub]

My 99 wj evap box is under the hood right next to the brake master cylinder. Always thought it was a weird place for it but yours is a pain to get to.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes.. weird spot. Almost like the XJ but harder to get to! Lol

[@fernandoayala2635]

Had the same error after watching your video checked the same hose and it was cracked. Put some tape and the code dissapeared for a week. Now i need to replace it to avoid further leaka

[@Carlos-wk2gd]

Yes! More Wj vids please!

[@ProjectDanH]

You got it!

[@14hope]

I learn so much about my 02 wj overland from your videos...very helpful. Thanks

[@mikekoerner1614]

Have the same codes (gross leak and small leak) going to have to dig into it to get it through Md emissions.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yeah bro... I bet you there's cracks in those lines!

[@wyattoneable]

Nice job. We like our older Jeeps so maintenance is required to keep them tip top!

[@ProjectDanH]

Amen!

[@litz13]

I had to replace the canister on my 97 XJ. On this year, it's not in the back, like many others, it's inside the engine compartment atop the frame rail, buried deep deep near the bottom. Easy to remove/install, except for the "get it out past everything else in the engine compartment" aspect. Most of the AC system is in the way, resulting in a very winding path around all the hoses.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes.. it stinks when the hoses gets brittle and brakes

[@CrimsonSlade]

I finally had a uninterrupted moment to where I could finish this video and I am dying and rolling! 🤣 Another great video brother keep it up!!!!

[@ProjectDanH]

On a side note, there was a recall on these wj models that involved rear end collisions. Solution was to add a rear trailer hitch.

I cover all of that and my hero hitch video coming soon 😉

That was a lot better way than some I have seen. I think the bumper removal made it a lot easier - thanks for that idea; Does a gross evaporative leak cause poor gas mileage? My 4.0 is getting awful mileage - 14mpg on the highway, even after a plug change. I also have a Check engine light that shows "gross evaporative leak" as well as a small leak. 0442, 0455 and 0456.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yes., Evap leaks are bad for MPGs

[@ProjectDanH]

Evap CEL and poor fuel economy

Hello friend, sorry I have the same error code p0455 and my Cherokee loses power when going uphill and I feel that it consumes more fuel. Do you think it is one of the symptoms in that code?

[@jcstevegigs]

Awesome video!!! I just started hearing a high pitched noise from that area - although I've had an evap leak for years w/ check engine light always on. The noise is annoying though - prob a leak. Thanks for the video!@

[@ProjectDanH]

lol. most leaks are from cracked hose ends

[@whizwit215]

Question: What right angle drill are you using in this? I will be attempting this project soon. Dan love your vids, great camera angles, REALLY helps! More WJ vids please! God Bless!

[@aflykidfrombrooklyn]

Hey Dan! Enjoy your videos as usual. Question for the EVAP. My 2000 Cherokee XJ is running a a P1494 code showing LDP but pricy and rather not spend the money to fix and have the same issue. What is the proper way to test the system or to verify that it truly is the LDP that is malfunctioning and needs a replacement?

[@JF32304]

Did you run a smoke test before doing this?

[@ProjectDanH]

Didn't need to

[@im2yys4u81]

Question: The plastic clips you had to pop out in the fender well and along the tail gate area... Where did you find replacements? Do you have any part no's or did you just guess at it? Thanks in advance for your response.

Dan, there is a thing on my 2004 Evap that is not on your 1999-200x. 52098655AJ HOSE, Axle Vent, Contains a Set of Three Hoses, One Hose For Rear Axle Vent, One For Tee On LDP (Leak Detection Pump), and One For Outlet On The Center Of Canister.

[@ProjectDanH]

Hey thanks for the info. It may have been relocated in 2004. Most evap systems haven't changed too much

[@aaronanderson6594]

How would you solve a p1494 for the jeep wj?

[@ProjectDanH]

That's the pump.. that detects the pressure.. could be a bad pump or could be bad tubing or elbows near the pumps 👍

[@jamesfox4394]

Great videos

[@TOO_RAW]

Funny how you posted this as I'm having the time of my life fixing an EVAP leak on my 04. Been fighting it for 5 months. If you think your rear EVAP assembly housing is rusted out you should see mine lol! I replaced most of the hoses in the rear and all of them in the front. I'm about to just put a piece of electrical tape over the MIL light and say fvck it. Also you should try aero kroil instead of pb blaster. You won't regret it!!

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks man I really appreciate the tip. Good luck finding that fix! never give up

[@Bulpar]

How much that cost at the junkyard I need to do the same thing
