the guy at autozone said it was to tighten the gas cap but that want it.

Whats the problem?
thanks

 

we would need an actual code number to help.. but.. autozone can not scan a 95

 

they scanner they had seemed to work.

p1441 and p1442 i believe were te code numbers, they both said pretty much the same thing

 

harlan, since he has a 3.8 95 he has the obdII so the scanner should work.

 

check the evap canister (charcol canister should be on the drivers side right on the other side of the gas cap) make sure all the lines are tight and not leaking, do you smell any fuel when you drive? basically all it is seeing is that the fuel is not as pressurized as it was, meaning a leak, lose fuel cap etc..

 

it's either an early 96 or a cali car.

anywho.


I would bet that you have a borken vacuum line at the canister purge selinoid. thats the selinoid that has the line from the canister to it and then a line to the intake. Check the lines very well

 

how would i get to that?

its a cali car, i just drove it across country to college.

also around in the car would i find that? engine compartment?

thanks

 

yes. it will be atched to the motor. I can not tell you specificly. you will see a selinoid. with 2 vac lines at it and a 2 wire connector. one line going to intake and another going to the canister. Follow the lines and make sure that they are intact

 

ok thanks

 

Nevermind i figured out what you meant, i can be retarted at times

 

ok its the gas cap, i could hear a slight leak from that when i had the door open and the engine was on. the rubber part has cracks in it. i guess a new gas cap should probably fix the problem
