PO441 Code

[Bill W]

PO442 code last month so I had the purge valve and several hoses replaced by a Dodge Service tech. Can't get the hoses so they used what they could get for replacement. Cost me a small fortune to have this done. Now I have a PO441 code, which indicates a purge flow fault. Thinking a hose came loose. Wanted to run this by y'all for your thoughts.

Your concerns are well founded. They are likely to have to go back behind the fascia to investigate. I would insist that I be in the shop to inspect the quality of the previous work and discuss their plan of action for remediation. I would suspect a generic hose bent in too tight a radius causing flow restriction. Pic of my '96 evap purge solenoid and canister for reference.

The code could also be a vapor leak back at the fuel filler and vent plumbing.

As Dean stated. Should be free fix if they don't do it right the first time.
