If you take your car to a shop for diagnosis, most shops will start with an hour of “diag time” (the time spent in labor diagnosing your specific issue).

> Get FIXD 67% off – only $19.99! How Much Does It Cost to Fix Code P0441? You can find RepairPal Certified shops near you inside the FIXD app. These shops can not only help you figure out what’s going wrong before you waste time and money on the wrong parts, but they also offer a minimum 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty and stand behind all their estimates with guaranteed fair pricing. If the sensors are all reading correctly and you’re not comfortable further diagnosing this issue at home, we recommend finding a RepairPal-certified shop to pinpoint the problem and give an accurate estimate for repairs. Using the live data function of the FIXD sensor and app allows you to read and analyze engine data to properly diagnose a P0441 code. With a P0441 code, the first step is to get it properly diagnosed to figure out what is causing the malfunction in the evaporative emission control system. However, when check engine light code P0441 is set, the purge valve is not properly regulating the flow of the fuel vapors by allowing too much flow or too little flow. When the purge valve is opened, the vacuum from the engine draws the fuel vapors out of the charcoal and into the engine intake manifold where it is then used as part of the air-fuel mixture needed for combustion within the cylinders of the engine. On the charcoal canister is a purge valve. The fuel vapors are then absorbed and stored by activated charcoal pellets in the charcoal canister. When the vent control valve opens, the fuel vapors from the fuel tank travel through a vent line to the charcoal canister. The evaporative emission control (EVAP) system prevents fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Use the FIXD Sensor and app to diagnose the cause of your P0441 code, access our Mechanic Hotline for help, and more – for only $19.99! This DTC can be triggered by a faulty EVAP purge valve a loose, missing, or damaged gas cap or damage to the charcoal canister and/or EVAP hoses. Diagnosis: It is important to complete the entire diagnostic process when diagnosing the P0441 code.Repair Urgency: Get this code addressed within the next month.Issue Severity: LOW– Continued driving for a short period of time is okay.P0441 definition: Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow.What prompted me to look at it was they are going to charge me another $100 to plug in their code reader again just to fix the same problem. Well It was worth a try to see if it was something that I could fix. I doubt that I can change the vent valve from laying on the ground with the car jacked up, not enough room. Unless you have some ideas I think I'm done. Then lower (not remove) the gas tank to get access to the vent valve (there are other steps like unhooking the filler neck, etc.). The instructions say to lower the exhaust system towards the rear of the car. Seems it's mounted on the right rear of the gas tank behind the evap canister, very hard to see as it's mounted near the top of the gas tank.

I have found the vent valve by accessing the repair manual online. So I can assume it's a problem with the vent valve (I had this diagnosed awhile back & one thing they found was the resistance on the vent valve was too high, the estimate to fix was $600 to start)? Unhooked the electrical connection & evap hose, blew into purge valve and no air passes through, so it is closed.

OK, checked the purge valve on the engine. Am I correct in assuming that the purge valve is what opens to provide the vacuum in the fuel tank when needed (during Evap System testing I guess)? You said P0455 was vacuum in the fuel tank when it wasn't supposed to be there. The new valve I got does not look anything like the one on the engine. I took the top cover off the engine and did locate the solenoid valve (item #3) as you indicated in your thumbnail above. I looked up the canister on the internet & found photos of all sides of the canister and that new part is not on the canister, unless it's under a cover or located on the gas tank where I can't see it. I jacked the car up and I can't see anything that looks like this new part on or around the Evap canister. He said no, it's down at the gas tank/Evap Emiss Canister, the one on the engine is the purge valve. I asked him if that was located on the engine.

Went to a dealer today to get the Evap Emission Vent valve/solenoid (he gave me a Delco/GM part #25932570, pic attached).
