Sorry you wasted your money on parts you didn't need ! There is a very specific diagnostic flow to testing this DTC - diagnostic trouble code ! An tools needed , scan tool , vacuum gauge ! the vent solenoid has nothing to do with this code .

1. Disconnect the purge pipe from the evaporative emission (EVAP) canister purge solenoid valve.
2. Install a hand held vacuum gage to the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve purge port.
3. Disconnect the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve harness connector.
4. Monitor vacuum on the vacuum gage.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle.
6. Increase the idle to 1,200-1,500 RPM.

Does the vacuum gage indicate an increase in vacuum?

1. Turn OFF the ignition.
2. Remove and then install the fuel fill cap.
3. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF.
4. Observe the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter with a scan tool.

Is the Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor parameter within the specified value?
-0.5 to +0.5 in H2O

Follow hoses from charcoal canister. Solonoid will be on one of the 3 or 4 hoses. One goes to vent from fuel tank, etc....

it could be misfiring, where did you get those codes? but the Crankshaft Position Sensor should be somewhere between the intake manifold and the firewall. The Quad Drive is electronics related, supposedly the most common cause of this code is the EGR valve (exhaust gas recirculation) and should be near the cylinder heads and are also said to be easy to replace. Quad Driver A module monitors the low speed fan, Evap canister purge solonoid, the HIGH TEMP light, and TCC apply. Quad Driver B module covers the shift solonoids and EGR valve.

could have a bad o ring check rings and like could have a crack on the side u cant see

you see code po441 the purge solenoid could be faulty or disconnected. if you have problem with evap switch to vent solenoid you would smell gas fumes in vechicle.check make sure gas cap on tight not leaking because it will set off code po441.

Try checking the gas cap first off. 95% of the time, an EVAP code, (purge solenoids, or any EVAP code) could be caused by a lose gas cap, or a defective gas cap.

And I know on SOME neons, the evap canister purge solenoid is located on a bracket attached to the air cleaner. Hope this helped.

The 1404 code is the egr valve and the p0440 evap system is most likely the canister purge solonoide

Off hand, it's by your oil fill tube on top off motor.

smoke test for leaks.
