P1441 code?

Post by 97ParkAve »

I am getting a P1441 code on my 1997 PA, I brought it to the dealer and they ran the code and it came back EVAP Failure, I did nothing and had the "service engine soon" light turned off. I then drove the car about 3hrs and the light never came back on. Today it did... Has any one every had this problem or at least know of the solution, I'd like to get it fixed this weekend as I hate when any service lights are on. I also just did the UIM and LIM job within the last month if that means anything. Thanks!

It appears that the most likely cause for that code is a bad evap vent valve remaining open when it should be closed.

You might have a vac leak. Check for cracked vac lines.

Thanks guys, I have figured it out I swapped two vacuum lines when I did the UIM and LIM and then I turned the service engine light off. Drove 400 miles this weekend and it never came on. Thanks again for the tip on the vac lines.
