CHECK ENGINE light - code P0440

[Solitude]

Ok.. so I have the 440 code.. I have searched the term PO 440, 440, and 440 code.

I found that others have had the problem but no one besides Tone gave a completed fix.. just a little bickering about using the search function..

Search doesnt work real well unless a fix is posted.. (so I said all that to say this)

Has anyone ever thrown 440 and figured out an accurate fix for it?

I am gonna try a new gas cap 1st. since I am on the road and my 16 year old is driving it.

I will try the vacuum line next if I can figure which side is the right side of the engine..

I am also gonna try the dealer when the rest doesn't work since it still should be under the emission warantee..

I will post the 440 fix when I figure it out..

if anyone else has FIxED a 440 code.. please chime in

peace and thank you

Ok..I fixed it. for 7.99 at auto zone and a 3/8 drill to drill a hole for the keeper

it was the gas cap.. I guess I could have bought a new O-ring, but the gas cap fixed the code 440,

just a heads up

I have had mine off and on for the last couple of months, sometimes right at startup, sometimes while driving and so on...
I just reset it with my Scangage, and since this problem seems to be an emissions issue more than anything, I ignored it, and guess what....hasn't been in about2 weeks, and I am well into my second tank since then. So it could be from over filling and I just had to wait for the canister to dry out?
