Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and recently picked up a P0452 diagnostic code on my 1998 Grand Am. The code indicates 'Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor/Switch Low Input'.

The most likely causes are a faulty pressure sensor switch or a poor electrical connection. Start by inspecting the wiring harness for loose, corroded, or broken wires. Also verify that the gas cap is securely tightened and not leaking, as a loose cap can trigger this code.

I checked the connections and ensured the gas cap was tight — it resolved the issue! Thanks for the helpful tip!
