Brought the car to chevy for a Check Engine Light, they agreed to fix it before I actually made the deal for the car anyway.... anywho they scanned it and found a leak at the rear near the fuel tank which they fixed...My question is what does this hurt, performance??? The car feels/sounds 110% better then when I brought it in...Thanks

 

Could you please elaborate on what they found out to be the problem? I have had this code forever and I have basically changed out everything in the evap system. And to answer your question... I have noticed absolutely no loss in performance at all.

 

Heres exactly what GM posted

:Verified Customer Concern:Found code p1441. Smoke tested Evap system. found evap hose leak at rear near fuel tank. reinstalled evap hose to repair.

 

The only problem you might have gotten out of it would have been a vacuum leak. Depending on how bad the leak was, it could have affected the engine enough to be noticed.

 

Ok, Then it could have affected the performance..Thanks alot

 

You actually have your car in Alaska?

You drove up the AL-Can highway with no sweat? I know years ago, the road was not so good.

 

Dude i flew here, they shipped my saturn here...and about a month and a half ago i saw this clean 96 at this big a$$ chevy dealership here, just went in to check it out and next thing you know I walked out w/ it w/ a phenominal deal...Sold my 97 years ago and just got the bug again
