P0441 code - Smoke test negative
Hey all,
The CEL came on again the other day while driving around town. Took it in to Autozone to have the code read and it came back with the p0441 again. So a few weeks ago I bought this thing as my weekend car to get out of the city (realizing it would need work). When I first took it to the shop to have it looked over they said it was throwing the same code. They did a smoke test, nothing was leaking, so they cleared the code (assumed it had to do with the cracked exhaust manifold they welded together or a bad sensor). Drove it to VA and back no problem. Just came back on the other day.
I've done a lot of reading and googling on this the last couple of days and would like the community's opinion. Assuming nothing has cracked or fallen apart since the smoke test, I would think it's probably the LDP. Is there a way to test if that's the culprit rather than say the purge solenoid or carbon canister? I already ordered a new gas cap since it seems like the cheapest easiest fix potentially.
Pretty new to all this still...
Thanks in advance!
