I took off my engine cover to wash my engine today. Afterward installed pulstar plugs then took for test drive then my car start shaking cel flashing on n off car feel like out of gas even thought it's not. Full tank.
Wat happen?
Pulstar or water leaking in my plug?

Sounds like misfires to me. I would replace the plugs with factory or oem replacement.

replaced it with Denso, everything is great now, no more shaking, but the CEL still on, scan it and it's show up P0453 Evaporative Emission Control System Pressure Sensor?

gonna have to clear the code, but that can be done at autozone, napa, etc...

i used scangauge II, but it's will come back up right away. I guess the Pulstar messed up with something.

Have you just recently filled your gas tank?

yes my gas tank is full and then i washed my engine and put Pulstar Plugs in there, and it's got problem, and then now Pulstar is out and Denso plugs is in.

An over full tank can cause that code. Did you top it off or overfill it?

i'm always used the automatic nozzle clicking thing, when it's auto click off, that its never overfill it. I'll drive it for few days and see how it's go, thanks for your advice.
No power loss or shaking remaining.

Yeah you should not have any negative affects on power due to that code but you still want to figure out what the problem is. If you have emissions testing that will cause a fail. I would also try venting the gas tank by removing the cap and then clear the code. You could have a blockage in the system somewhere, you could have a short, you could have a bad sensor, loose connection or a bad ground.:iono:

hey thanks again Camell, i remove the gas cap, start the car, clear the code, and close the gas cap, it's cleared now.

it's worked man.
