Hi there:DTC P0441 - Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge FlowThis indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.

EVAP emission canister purge is contolled by a valve which allows engine vacuum to pull stored fuel vapors from fuel tank into the engine to be burned, rather than be vented to atmosphere. A vacuum switch is used to detect when flow exists. If the PCM commands purge and sees that the switch is closed (indicating no detected purge flow) P0441 is set.
Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light.

A code P0441 could mean one or more of the following has happened:Bad vacuum switchBroken or damaged EVAP line or canisterOpen in PCM purge command circuitOpen or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge SolenoidFaulty purge solenoidRestriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canisterCorrosion or resistance in purge connectorBad PCM
Possible Solutions: with a P0441 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:Common Chrysler fix - Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDPRepair damaged EVAP lines or canisterRepair open or short in voltage feed circuit to Purge SolenoidRepair open in PCM purge command circuitReplace purge SolenoidReplace vacuum switchRepair restriction in Evap line or canister or soleniodRepair resistance in purge connectorReplace PCM
Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.
Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Testimonial: "That was very helpfully information,I fixed the problem by changing out the purge flow solenoid and leaving the negative battery cable disconnected over night.it worked great after that.thank you very much for your help!"

SOURCE: how to install window regulator mitsubishi galant

FOr the most part window regulators just unbolt and unplug. I'd suggest you go to a junkyard that lets you pull your own parts and then do it. Once you have pulled the replacement part you will know everything you need to know. Basics are you pull the door panel. Next you separate the glasss from the regulator unit. Now unbolt the regulator. Wedge glass up in the door and angle the regulator out of the opening

Hi, the "dirt" that clogs your EGR valve and intake manifold is not dirt in the traditional sense. The dirt in this case is carbon buildup from your engine and emissions. When the carbon builds up to a certain point, it hardens and forms a residue. This residue will ultimately clog your intake manifold and EGR valve, stopping them from functioning properly and causing the rough idling and stalling.

Carbon buildup is caused by not burning all the gas going through the cylinders. This can be caused by many different things including using bad gas, driving around in the city too much, and not having enough spark in the engine, but the main cause of carbon buildup is driving too carefully. Driving slowly and safely and carefully every single day puts a lot of pressure on the engine. Driving like a maniac isn't good for your vehicle all the time either, but occasionally it is good to break out of your normal rhythm.
Unless there seems to be a major problem try to keep the car at a steady acceleration until its ride is nice and smooth. You may need to stop the car and then start over by punching the gas pedal again. This way you don't accelerate past the speed limit allowed on the road. It is the rapid acceleration part that burns off the carbon, not the speed, so don't risk a speeding ticket. When the vehicle seems to respond to the gas pedal easily and undergoes no more choking, you've gotten rid of the excess buildup. Try to gun it occasionally each month to prevent more carbon from building up. A few minutes of consistent acceleration will keep your engine nice and clean.


If you have a lot of exhaust coming out in a steady stream and it is blue or black, stop accelerating immediately. There could be something wrong with your engine and you don't want to aggravate the problem by trying to burn off the carbon. Different colored smoke means different things. Blue, usually there's oil in your gas mixture. Black usually means you have bad valves in your engine. Take your vehicle to an auto shop and tell them about the color of the smoke and the amount. You probably have bad rings or need a valve job.

Idle problem

Sounds like the fuel pressure regulator is shutting the flow of gas causing the higher pressure. The pump is probably ok since it is delivering fuel pressure.

I have no gears forward or reverse. My Vehicle is a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi with 170,000 on the clock. Fluid is clean and full with no leaks. I have the following trouble codes:...

Your scanner will give you the code but it will not tell you how to fix your vehicle. Scanners basically tell you what systems to check or what systems are failing.

These are what your codes mean:

P0700: Transmission Control Module
- Shorted or open circuit within transmission control module (TCM)
- Failure of transaxle control module. This is just a informative code.

P0734: Gear ratio error in 4th gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0732: Gear ratio error in 2nd gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0731: Gear ratio error in 1st gear
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Shift solenoids
- Transmission mechanical problems
- Transmission hydraulic control circuit

P0871: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor Switch C

P0876: Transmission Fluid Pressure Sensor Switch D

Emissions Codes:

P0400: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction
- Harness or connectors (EGR volume control valve circuit is open or shorted.)
- EGR volume control valve stuck closed
- EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Dead (Weak) battery
- EGR temperature sensor and circuit
- EGR Valve

How to fix :
- Clean EGR Valve
- Repair EGR harness or connector
- Replaced EGR volume control solenoid valve
- Replaced EGR volume control valve

P0440: EVAP Emission Control System Malfunction
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

P0456: EVAP Control System Leak Detected (Very Small Leak)
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

P0441: EVAP Emission Control System Incorrect Purge
- Missing Fuel cap
- Incorrect fuel filler cap used
- Fuel filler cap remains open or fails to close
- Foreign matter caught in fuel filler cap
- Incorrect fuel tank vacuum relief valve

How to fix:
- Retight or replaced fuel tank filler cap
- Replaced damage or leaking EVAP canister

Based on the info check your EVAP system. I would check for leaks and maybe replace the EGR and the canister.

For the transmission check the TCM also you may need to take it to a mechanic though.

Hope this helps a little.

2001 toyota 4runner< engine light on, code comes out to be - p0441 auto zone said change gas cap, i did, 2 weeks later light comes on again< what do you think?

You can get this code if you don't tighten the gas cap all the way, or the gas cap is bad. I will put all the detail for the code below and what I would do to fix the problem...

NOTE: Do not top off your tank either. This could cause the 'overfill check valve' to fail, and could cause this code.

Definition of P0441: Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect
Purge Flow

Detection logic:
DTCs P0441 and P0446 are recorded by the ECM when evaporative emissions leak from the emissions components
or when there is a malfunction in either the VSV for EVAP, the VSV for
pressure switching valve, or in the vapor pressure sensor itself.
detection cause: Pressure in charcoal canister and fuel tank does not drop or
drop in pressure increased beyond the specified limit during
purge control (2 trip detection logic)

What I would do:
1. Replace fuel cap and reset computer. If code returns, then proceed to next

The next steps require a diagram, so the purchase of service manual to locate the components is very helpful

2. Check for vacuum leaks in ALL emission hoses
3. Check VSV valve operation (there are three; they are ~$75 new from dealer, and sometimes fail)
4. Check for cracks or leaks around or in the charcoal canister (usually requires a smoke machine)
5. check for voltage to VSV's
6. Last resort: take it to the dealer and have them run a diagnosis. This should run between $50-$100.

Good luck!

Engine error lite P0465

Replacing the EGR valve, its actuator, or your DPFE sensor could all be at fault. I would probably start with the valve itself since it's an EGR leak code. Your gas cap was a wasted repair. The gas cap would cause a P0441 or 445 evap code, but not an EGR code.
