My mechanic said it was the evap sensor, but I can't find anything on it. if i recall correctly, the code is P0441. Does the solenoid go bad?

Maybe it's the LDP? Dontknow
Are you in an area that salts the roads? If so the solenoid could have rusted. Try looking under the brake master cylinder in the engine caompartment, do you see a cylinder type device with 2 or so vacuum lines and an electrical plug?

Have you changed anything on the EVAP system lately (or anything electrical on the car)? That code should be due to the flow in the system (which could be the solenoid etc) but could also mean a leak in the system or lines hooked up backwards.

Did your mechanic leak test the system? This is all vacuum driven so the hoses should be inspected and a cracked one could be the culprit.

How long have you been dealing with this? It could be something as stupid as a bad seal on the gas cap (affects the vacuum of the fuel system). If the car runs fine and you don't need to pass an inspection (eg no check engine light) I'm not sure I would spend a whole lot of time and money chasing the issue...

I don't think it's the sensor. I think it's the leak detection pump valve thingy.
If it isn't a leak or something stupid, this is the first thing I would try replacing: Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid [stockwiseauto.com]. <- This is the thing (or something similar) that may be below the master cylinder.

I'd check all the vacuum lines, filler neck, gas cap etc first before I started replacing anything though.

Thanks. I've been getting the code for about a year, and I haven't seen a decrease in my mileage other than the basic differences between the winter and summer gas blends. We don't get much snow around here, and none of these parts have ever been replaced. I just want to sell it, and the check engine light is on. So.....I want it off before i try to sell it.

Gotcha. Well good luck. Hope you get it figured out.

Did you ever pick up an AR? Wasn't it you that was asking about purchasing one off the interwebz in the gamer's lounge?

No, just spend more time working on vehicles than I care to and I am fairly proficient with the google Wink

I can't find anything about a sensor. There is a solenoid on the vapor canister surge valve that should be above the gas tank. Do you have a P/N of the sensor you are looking for? Not at all trying to insult your mechanical skills, but how did you come to the conclusion the EVAP sensor is bad? Is it throwing codes? If so, do you know what codes?



About what it seems like in here laugh out loud

So I'm sure there is a back story to the question I was asked about 'where women pee from', care to enlighten me?
TP thought girls pee from their butts nod
