P0441 Evaporative Emission System Incorrect Purge FlowYou might want to take it over to Wedekind and have them look at it. It may be covered under the emissions warranty. Edit: just saw the mileage, I think you're over the mileage for warranty coverage.

THX - my guess is the gas-cap being loose, although I just filled it up over the weekend in PA and the gas was $0.20 less than NY gas, so i filled it pretty full. i uderstand that it can get fuel into the charcoal canister that will eventually evaporate,and clear the code. I'll try manually clearing the code to speed up the process.

I got that code about 2 months ago. The purge solenoid needed to be replaced. However, there are a lot of other issues it could be, as joat pointed out.
