[carolinagirl]

I drove my car to pick up my niece and the check engine light came on. Well sitting there i did the key dance and got code 0441. After I got home i looked up on here and its P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow.

What is it?
How do you fix it?
Is it a major problem?

Did you buy gas recently? Sometimes that code comes on when the gas cap isn't secured tightly (turn to the right for three clicks) and you'll get that code. It will go off in a matter of time and engine starts if that's the reason for the code. Give it a day or so to go away, but go out now and give the cap a couple of turns.

Thank Guys I was really worried. I went out there and the gas cap was half off. But here is the thing, I havent gotten gas since 8/12/2011. I am at the conclusion someone messed with it. Friday I noticed a drop in my gas gauge and was like dang, but I have not ever put cap on car w/o clicking 3 times (plus gas cap has warning ) We put a mark on cap and side to make sure it isn't moved over night

do they make a locking cap for the cruiser ?
and if so
do they ever get stuck and not wanna come off?

Sounds like somebody stole your gas.They could have atleast put the cap back on right.

Go to any decent auto shop and ask for a locking cap. I've used them on several cars and never had a problem. They should run from $10 to $15.

i know right i was so proud I was still on a full tank at 100 miles until friday then all of a sudden it was at the 3/4 mark and I thought dang

bad enough they took my gas then they didnt put gas cap back and made me loose more than they took

***im relieved it wasnt bad w/car**

100 miles at 3/4 sounds just about right for the PT. Maybe the sensor in the tank was just stuck and finally started reading properly. I have noticed the level my fuel gauge reads changes (1/8 or 1/4) overnight sometimes. I have attributed this to a less than perfect fuel level sensor and that I park slightly up-hill.
