Code P0441 low purge flow

[flyer23]

I have this code and have replaced the purge valve already with a new one. Same code. Has anyone else had this code and an area that might be leaking from. My car is a 1995 Legacy L automatic with AWD. I pray I don't have to remove the fuel tank due to RUST...LOL. Any advice would be great. I don't have access to a smoke machine otherwise it would be easier to find.

 

Thanks in advance.

Assuming you don't have any other codes. The hose for the evap probably has a split or hole in it somewhere along the line. You can have someone blow into the evap hose under the hood while you listen underneath the car for air movement.

 

There are a few other valves, one near the fuel tank, and one near the evap canister at the back of the car. Check both of those for operation as well. The whole evap system is complicated as hell. Good luck finding the leak.

is this the code you get when the gas tank filler neck has holes rusted through?? that's pretty common in some parts of the country, the rust belt.

The filler neck was rusted out, but I replaced it with a new one and reset the light. The P0441 code keeps coming back so now I know where to start looking. Thanks for the info.
