Re: help with code
Generally, its best to throw in the actual code number... not all lists have the same description. I'm guessing you got P0433 = Evaporative Emissions (EVAP) purge solenoid control circuit. That would indicate either the EEC purge solenoid or the wiring to it is defective.
Courtesy of Shoebox: http://shbox.com/1/evap_sol.jpg His code list is also good to use, because it is LT1 specific. http://shbox.com/1/Dtcs.htm |
Re: help with code
the code # was P1441

Re: help with code
That ones a B!@CH. Could be vacuum hoses to the purge solenoid routed wrong. Could be the vac lines going to the purge canister kinked or screwed up. Could be a switch, wiring, solenoid, the canister or the PCM itself.
You need a good manual, a scanner that can exercise circuits and a lot of patience. |
Re: help with code
According to my manual, the possible causes are:
Rubber hoses cracked, cut, pierced, bent, or disconnected, as mentioned above Plastic connector to EVAP canister purge solenoid cracked Plugged hose from solenoid to canister or to throttle body Terminals backed out, connectors or wiring damaged EVAP canister purge solenoid fault or PCM defective Slopokrodrigez covered it pretty good. Good luck. |
