I saw 9 - 0 = p1456 - evaporative emisions

Is that what 9 blinks and a pause equals?

Retighten your gas cap? Used to give me CELs all the time.

If it is the gas cap, retighten it, and the CEL wont go off for a day or three.

I see you have an 02. You probably have the same issue as me and the rest of the world. 2002 has a TSB out about a faulty fuel filler neck. Search here for info and the temporary fix to avoid CEL.
