EVAP pump code

[Barry]

My 2000 GTS just popped a code for a leak detection, (EVAP)pump. I find it odd that a low mileage car would burn a pump. Anyone have anyideas on this code and if the pump is interchangeable with other models? I hatespending money on this kind of part.

What was the code?

What kind of repair parts do you like spending money on? You are aware you have a 13 year old car?

+1 on what is the code. That is the most irritating part of these posts; you have information that would be most useful to us helping you, but you don't provide it. I do have the systems diagnostics books that have many pages of info on what it could be or how to fix it, but the starting point is always the code.

Meanwhile, since we're stumped for now, reset it and see if it comes back. Could have just been one of those things.

check for crack vapor hoses first

Damn I knew you were going to ask for the code. I ran thecode a long time ago, reset it and it came back after a few miles. My codereader is in my other car and my wife has that car at my daughters until nextweek. I’ll get back to you as soon as I run the code again.

Get it tuned out ---

I didn't know you could get it tuned out like the rear o2 sensors?

find out if its a large or small leak from code, but check the vapor hoses for dry rott cracks, mopar i have found is the worst for this

To fix this, do you have to take off the front fascia? ---

Yes to look at the pump and hoses, it could also be the hoses at the top hat on the tank.

Loose or bad gas cap.

Ok I pulled the code and it’s P0441 Evap purge flow monitor. Any tips on tracking down this problem?

Thank you very much Dave6666. Looks like I’m going on ahunting expedition.

As was pointed out, the gas cap could be causing the problem listed in that possible cause list. You can have it tested at an emissions station I bet. If you have those in Jersey.
