J A Blazer Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 In my experience the 420 is a cat efficiency code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UMT Posted January 1, 2013 Author Share Posted January 1, 2013 Ooops, looks like you gents are correct. Is there a quick fix? Thanks, UMT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 The P0440 is an evap code and usually it leads to a rusted through fuel filler neck. Is fairly easy to check, just need to remove the right rear wheel and there is an access panel behind the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebugs Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 420 often solved, atleast tempoarily with seafoam through vacuum line and/or spark plug non-fouler(s). Search around here a bit to see how to do these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 P0420 catalyst efficiency below threshold. P0440 evap emissions system. You got the wrong codes. Your definitions are for codes P1400 and P1420. The pressure control solenoid valve is located above the charcoal canister behind the right rear wheel. All of the metal parts back there are prone to rusting. I don't envy you having to remove the canister to get to that valve. I'd expect some corrosion in the wiring or inside the connector. Good possibility of mouse damage too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
