Wrong Section.. EVAP PROBLEM... pls help

Alright this is my first post as u can tell. But i Have '97 firebird trans am. yeah it has the 5.7L. Just parked it in the garage due to the fact that i live in Minnesota and its gettin cold and well the two dont mix well. But as i went to pull it into the garage it wouldnt start? Its done this before but i thought it might be the fuel filter. but i guess im wrong.. i hooked up the code reader and get P0441 which is the evap incorrect purge flow.. Could this be the reason why its not starting? Im no noob ive used google i just need some more opinions??? Any and all help is greatly apreciated.. Thanks in advanced

I doubt it is why there is a no start. The code only has to do with emissions.

I would check ignition first, if its cranking.

Hey

Ignition = Opti, plug wires, ICM, coil,wire, plugs, and all wire connections to them.

Other no start conditions, could be fuel pressure, fuel pump, fuel filter and grounds.

good luck
