Gas cap was aftermatket. Ill try putting old one on.
purge valve was used, ill have to try original one if gas cap doesn't fix it..
charcoal canister and vent valve were also used I would have to go back to junk yard and get my old one back.

The junk yard has been kind enough to let me borrow the parts. If it fixes the problem I pay for it. If not, just bring it back

Would that Fuel tank pressure sensor be on the vent line between the tank and charcoal canister?

Well my P0453 was due to an UNPLUGGED Fuel Tank Pressure sensor.
It did not snap back in from when I unplugged it yesterday. I couldn't even plug it back in today, I had to lube the weather pack with some WD-40 then she snapped right in. Light went out and took a 15 min test drive and no more light.

Tomorrow I can go return the Purge valve and give the guys a case of beer for being so generous

Yeah. It is getting inspected Fri. I am in a county where there is no emissions testing, but I just needed to have that light off.
Next up on the list is to try an figure out how to fix my ripped off seat sensors to get the airbag light out. Cant believe they used all green with red tracer wires

Bump:
Was just reviewing this thread & realized I forgot to reply to your seat belt warning light woe.

With your trouble shooting skills you've probably already found & fixed the problem, but since I'm here & thinking about this, I'll post my forgotten thoughts that have come to mind again.

The under seat electrical connector contacts corroding are known trouble points, especially on the passenger side seat for some reason. If the seats have been out, sometimes the connector doesn't get fully snapped back in. Also have heard of the wires being damaged by heavy stored under seat objects moving around.
Of course, if someone has turned the seatbelt switch Off, it'll turn the warning light on. If its blinking, it's outputting a trouble code that might be helpful to know, so count the blinks & post up the code number/s. Long pause is space between code numbers if you have more than one, or the code will repeat if you only have one trouble code.

Its been a while but thanks for getting back to me. Seat is not fixed. Someone ripped the connector off boht the seats and the floor. All I have are free w red tracers on ALL the wires. Mu 09 seats have more wire colors but still no plug. I took the wiring out of my 04 seats before I scrapped them, need to put them in mo 09 seats
