Wifey just got a CEL on a 2003 Vibe - P0441.Anyone familiar with this one ?85,000 miles and manual tranny - not a GTTHX

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.

from the code chart linked in http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10094causes of P0441 can be Quote »- Fuel tank cap is incorrectly installed- Fuel tank cap is cracked or damaged- Vacuum hose cracks, or is blocked, damaged or disconnected- Open or short in vapor pressure sensor circuit- Vapor pressure sensor- Open or short in VSV circuit for EVAP- VSV for EVAP- Open or short in VSV circuit for CCV- VSV for CCV- Open or short in VSV circuit for pressure switching valve- VSV for pressure switching valve- Fuel tank is cracked, or damaged- Charcoal canister is cracked, or damaged- Fuel tank over fill check valve is cracked or damaged- ECMFirst try reseating the gas cap

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.
