       I have an 03 land rover discovery 2.  Getting P0455 large leak code.   In order 
    to do a leak test using smoke, I have to seal the purge vent solenoid.  Can this 
    be accomplished using my Autel 619 scan tool?

    Hi, I don't think so, first check the gas cap, if OK,check the hoses and lines to the purge
    solenoid for cracks or coming loose. Than erase code and see if it returns .

    checked the gas cap already.  I read that they tend to swell in hot days and then are difficult to put back on after refueling thereby leaving an incomplete seal.  I took mine off, cleaned the threads up good on the cap and the filler neck and lubed the rubber seal on the cap.  code has not surfaced since but have not driven too much either.

     took the cap off again the inspect the o-ring at the base of the threads.  removed it from the cap.  it is hard
    as a piece of hard plastic.  no flex at all.  I'm thinking that this rubber piece should be someone pliable to 
    provide a seal.  

    Is there any vendor out there that sells seals for these caps?
