No there is no check engine light or any codes displayed when I run a scanner. I am thinking maybe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor could be bad is there a way I can check that?

A little more information. The Gas cap light came on and it did throw a code P0455 Gross Leak. I replaced the gas cap and cleared the code. Drove the car for 6 drive cycles and was able to are other items to Ready status. Now when I run the scanner it shows 0 codes and 1 Inc (EVAP) and 7 Ready.
