Question 97 Explorer CEL P0455 code

I have a 97 Explorer 4.0 SOHC and I keep getting the P0455 code. I took it to my mechanic and he replaced the fuel vapor management control valve and the solenoid attached to the charcoal canister. after three days the light came back on. I took it to auto zone and they got the same code. I then replaced the gas cap because they said I may not be getting a good seal. Again after 3 days, the light has come back on again. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you replaced enough stuff

and the secret may be what gives you that code in the first place, the pressure sensor. You may not have a leak but a bad connection to the sensor or a bad sensor. This sensor looks for changes in pressure in the tank to determine if there is a leak and that the valves open when they should.
