    check purge solenoid valve. if vacuum line is good to to the purge valve then the purge valve went bad. not that uncommon on gm vehicles. beware bwd brand not recommended for purge valves get ac delco or junk yard. e

P1441 Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Flow During Non-Purge
The evap system is your egr valve, carbon canister, pcv valve, gas cap, and fuel tank vent, The most common fix for this problem is a new gas cap and then your done. It is about 15 dollars and then you pass smog. If this has been of any help please reate. Thank you

    Hello. I bought a 1999 Buick Century seadn. the service check light is on with a P1441 code. I replaced the gas cap as the other was very well worn. I had a friend clear the code. After two days, the light is back on with the same code read. Is there a fix-it to this, or will I have to bite the bullet at a shop? Please message back. RJ in Eureka, CA

What is the fuel pressure it has to be at least
  1. Ignition "OFF" for 10 Seconds.
  2. With ignition "ON," engine "OFF" and fuel pump running, pressure should be 333-376 kPa (48-55 psi). For additional fuel pressure testing, See: Computers and Control Systems\Testing and Inspection\Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures\A - E Charts & Related Test Procedures\A Charts\Chart A-7 Fuel System Diagnosis
  3. Have you tested the compression?
