If this question is with regards to a fault code of P0441, the following applies.
Basically this means that there is a problem in the EVAP system. The computer will command the purge control valve open and if it does not sense the right amount of vacuum then it will set this code. The purge valve is part of the EVAP system. The purpose of this system is to take all of the excess fuel vapor from the gas tank and store it until it can be burned in the engine. If it weren't for this system then all of those vapors would be vented into the atmosphere.
Usual causes for this code: Faulty Purge Control Solenoid Faulty Purge Control Valve Damaged Wiring to the Purge Solenoid
Other possible causes: Faulty Computer Restriction in the EVAP System Faulty Vacuum Switch
Hi Georgiaboy, glad to help! The fuel filter on that year model is inside the tank mounted on the end of the fuel pump. If your wanting to change it because of the miles on the car, I suggest putting a fuel cleaner in the tank. However, if you are having problems with the fuel system then you'll need to check the fuel pressure to see if it is within specfications. For your vehicle the specs should be around 50 PSI. Hope this helps and have an awesome day!
you may have a bad key check to see if there is a light lit up on the inst cluster showing a key or security if so the key is no good and it will have to be brought to the dealer to repair this problem.
If you are getting computer codes on this, one way to validate that this is the sensor is to disconnect the fuel vapor line (look on the firewall for a plastic hose going into rubber fittings). Then plug the line with a firm fitting screw-driver (or similar). Start the engine - if your computer doesn't report any issues (no check engine light), then you probably have a problem with the purge valve solenoid. Mine appears to be on the firewall below the brake booster - I had to pull the tray for the battery to get to it comfortably...
This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.
EVAP emission canister purge is contolled by a valve which allows engine vacuum to pull stored fuel vapors from fuel tank into the engine to be burned, rather than be vented to atmosphere. A vacuum switch is used to detect when flow exists. If the PCM commands purge and sees that the switch is closed (indicating no detected purge flow) P0441 is set.
Symptoms: Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light.
Causes: A code P0441 could mean one or more of the following has happened: Bad vacuum switch Broken or damaged EVAP line or canister Open in PCM purge command circuit Open or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid Faulty purge solenoid Restriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canister Corrosion or resistance in purge connector Bad PCM
Possible Solutions: With a P0441 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try: Common Chrysler fix - Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDP Repair damaged EVAP lines or canister Repair open or short in voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid Repair open in PCM purge command circuit Replace purge Solenoid Replace vacuum switch Repair restriction in Evap line or canister or soleniod Repair resistance in purge connector Replace PCM
Hope this helps (remember to rate and comment this answer).
look for a rubber hose coming out of the firewall in the engine compartment, you will have to crawl under the car to look use a wire or something semi stiff to poke in the hose and pull any debris out of the ac pan it can get messy and quite smelly
