P0161 P0455 Code, FLASHING F.GUAGE LIGHT
Goodmorning ALL,
I have 2000 ML320 with Codes: P0161 & P0455 error codes and my Fuel Guage lights flashing after few minutes drive. I have also noticed higher fuel consumption though I cant accurately calculate my MPG.
* My mechanic has changed Fuel CAP, FUEL PUMP, purge Valve is sticking normal and checked for leakages without any significant signs noticed.
* I am made to know that this is a LARGE LEAK.
I need urgent help to narrow down search, save money and demystify this *P0455 beast*
Your assistance is much appreciated.
IF it can help this OB211 Live Data I collected

You must find an independent mech. who has a smoke machine. This machine will tell in no time where the leak is.

Hmmmm!! I just flushed the purge valve very well, connect it back after driving a while the P0455 Code is gone. How long will solution last? May be mystery solved after 2 days.
Secondly it rained this yesterday mornnn and the weather is a little cold, P0161 code is gone too. Can weather condition help trigger P0161 code?

You have two different and separate codes. One for an O2 Sensor and the other for a large Evap. Leak, both of which have nothing to do with the Purge Cont. Valve.
