I have engine codes p103 and p117, the dealer wanted to replace the mass air flow sensor and evap purge valve for $900.00. Is this something a DIY can do? and if so, any advice, instructions would be great!

code p 0306 is --misfire on no 6 cylinder ===causes injector wiring ---ht leads , coil
code p 0449 is EVAP purge valve --circuit malfunction ===causes --wiring--EVAP canister purge valve --ECM and code p 0068 is MAP ( manifold pressure )sensor ( mass air flow sensor (MAF)---throttle position correlation===causes --wiring--MAP/MAF sensor--mechanical fault
could be a common wiring harness plug connection or loose connections on the ECM

That is a mass air flow sensor problem the mass airflow sensor is at the air intake just before the manifold. It measure the temp, pressure and volume of the air entering the engine.

EOBD II Error Code: 25
Description:
System too Lean, Bank 1
Possible Causes:
- Intake/exhaust leak.
- Secondary air injection (AIR) system.
- Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor.
- Mass air flow (MAF) sensor.
- Fuel pressure/pump.
- Injector(s).
- Evaporation emission (EVAP) canister purge valve.
- Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
- Contaminated fuel.

EOBD II Error Code: 26
Fault Location:
System too Rich, Bank 1
Description:
- Evaporation emission (EVAP) canister purge valve .
- Fuel pressure.
- Injector(s).
- Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
- Contaminated fuel.
Hope that works.

Error Code: P0172
Fault Location:
Fuel Trim, System too Rich, Bank 1
Possible Cause:
Evaporation emission (EVAP) canister purge valve.
Fuel pressure.
Fuel Injector(s).
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S).
Mass air flow sensor.
Engine coolant temperature sensor.
Element air cleaner, clogged.

code p0441 refers to evaporative emission EVAP system-incorrect flow detected===causes hose connections--intake leak---EVAP canister purge valve
Po144 refers to the same fault and causes
Po446 refers to EVAP system--vent control-circuit malfunction===causes --wiring---EVAP canister purge valve---ECM In all cases codes the canister purge valve gets a mention and then the ECM. I would take it back and ask that the canister purge valve be changed or even ask for a new canister as there are occasions when filling the tank to the filler hole will induce fuel into the canister causing it to malfunction.

Hi there:
DTC P0496 - EVAP (evaporative emission) Flow During A Non-Purge Condition


The P0496 DTC code is a generic code which applies to all vehicle makes. A quick search on the 'net shows that this code seems to be more common with GM (Chevy, Pontiac, etc.) vehicles. In Acura, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda vehicles, this code is described "EVAP system high purge flow" which is the same thing.

This DTC checks for undesired intake vacuum flow to the EVAP system. The control module seals the EVAP system by commanding the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve OFF and the EVAP canister vent solenoid valve ON. The control module monitors the fuel tank pressure (FTP) sensor to determine if a vacuum is being drawn on the EVAP system

If vacuum in the EVAP system is more than a predetermined value within a predetermined time, this code is set and the MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) is illuminated.

Symptoms of a P0496 DTC will include MIL illumination, and most likely no other noticeable symptoms. Some may experience a hard start / crank condition. In some cases the engine may run rich which may not detected, but can cause damage long-term (think: catalytic converter damage).

Potential causes of a P0496 EVAP code include:

• Faulty purge or vent solenod/valve
• Plugged EVAP canister
• Failed EVAP / fuel pressure sensor
• Poor electrical connection
• Short electrical circuit condition
(Hyundai, Isuzu)
• Faulty canister purge valve
• Blocked vapor canister
• Faulty vent solenoid
• Leaking EVAP system hose (Hyundai)
• Faulty purge flow sensor (Kia, Mazda)

Possible Solutions

The most common fix for this DTC is to replace the purge solenoid valve. However, be sure to do a proper diagnosis before replacing parts!

Ideally you would use an advanced scan tool, with the ignition on and engine off, you seal the EVAP system using the Seal/Purge function. Then, watch the fuel tank pressure sensor reading when you turn the purge off. If the pressure value is higher than the normal range set by the manufacturer, replace the EVAP canister purge solenoid valve. Refer to a model-specific repair guide for the proper specification.

If you don't have access to the scan tool, you could always disconnect the vacuum line at the purge valve going back to the charcoal canister. Unplug the electrical connector on the purge valve, start the engine, then put your finger on the valve where you disconnected the line. If you can feel vacuum there, the purge solenoid valve is faulty and needs to be replaced. Alternately, you could simply remove the purge solenoid valve and blow into it. It is normally closed, so if air goes through then you need to replace it.

If the purge valve checks out good, either the problem with the valve is intermittent or there is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor. To test the fuel tank pressure sensor you will need to have a high end scan tool to monitor the tank pressure with the gas cap removed. If the sensor shows vacuum with the gas cap removed, there is a problem with the fuel tank pressure sensor.

Here is a picture of one purge solenoid valve. Yours may look similar or different, consult a factory service guide or your local vehicle dealership for more details.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

code p 0441 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system --incorrect flow detected ==== causes --- hose connection/s--- intake leak---EVAP canister purge valve replace the purge valve

P1447 - Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Control System, Purge Flow Monitor
In this evaporative emission (EVAP) control system, purge flow occurs during non-closed throttle conditions. Purge volume is related to air intake volume. Under normal purge conditions (non-closed throttle), the EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve is open to admit purge flow. Purge flow exposes the EVAP control system pressure sensor to intake manifold vacuum.

Under normal conditions (non-closed throttle), sensor output voltage indicates if pressure drop and purge flow are adequate. If not, a fault is determined. Malfunction is detected when EVAP control system does not operate properly, EVAP control system has a leak between intake manifold and EVAP control system pressure sensor.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
* EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve stuck closed
* EVAP control system pressure sensor and the circuit
* Loose, disconnected or improper connection of rubber tube
* Blocked rubber tube
* Cracked EVAP canister
* EVAP canister purge volume control solenoid valve circuit
* Closed throttle position switch
* Blocked purge port
* Closed throttle position switch


Test is and send us your updated.

the p0496 means that the evap system flow during non-purge first check ur gas cap this can cause the check engine code if cap is good and on tight than the usual culprit is either evap purge solenoid and or canister vent solenoid sticking not expensive to replace by self in driveway but before u do check with a dealer in area and advise about code to see if covered should be since its an 08 evap should be covered [dont know mileage and or condition of truck which makes a difference on warranty ]

okay lets start with the po 068 & po 108, check the connection to the mass air flow sensor if conn are good replace the mass air flow sensor, that should solve the two codes, now the po455 is a evap gross leak detected. first is to make sure gas cap is good and on tight, i f it is then look for broken evap lines or hoses, it a line that sends vaccum to evap canister and another line that send fuel vapors to engine and canister check lines, also there are valve that you should check vent and purge valves, this part you may need a shop to test valves, hope this is helpful,
