p1441
p1441 just a couple of ? i had a cel come on p1441 is the code i took off the purge solenoid valve i can blow in both side with any restriction is this normal and there is a a tube that comes off the bottom its a 90 elbow with nothing connected to it is this normal as well
The EVAP purge solenoid is supposed to have one line coming in from the fuel line bundle and the second line connects to an elbow (likely the one you're seeing) which connects to the throttle body.
there is three lines one on each side then another one under one (the 90degree elbow) of the other lines that looks like it should have a hard plastic vac line going to it
ok the old purge solenoid was stuck open i changed it drove 800 miles to SC and 800 miles back no light today it comes back on the purge solenoid is stuck open again i think the vapor canister is putting out some charcole into the system but i cant find the canister any clues on where it is

You probably had charcoal in the line from the previous solenoid being stuck open. You should have disconnected the line from the canister and blown it out. The canister is in the back of the LH rear wheel well. You may be able to blow out the new solenoid, if it is now stuck.

ok i have changed the soleniod, canister,vacuum switch and the round valve right by the canister. i have also replaced all of the rubber vacuum hoses and blew all of the lines out with compressed air the soleniod still gets stuck open also there is a 90 degree elbow coming off of the manifold and goes to the top port on the soleniod that hose is totaly dry rotted but i can find anything to replace it with because the two ends are diffrent sizes any clues on what i can do to replace this hose

This issues is most offen caused by over filling the gas tank and the bag in the canister gets wet with fuel causeing the bag over time to rip open and contaminating the system, i have even seen the fuel tank get filled with charcole and cause the pump to get clogged. I agree with Shoebox the 90 elbow from the old should work great. Also stop pumping gas when the filler clicks the first time and you might be able to prevent this in the future
well its been a year and this damn code just came back. this time i can hear a small pop from the tank after its parked for about 10 min. the soleniod is deff closed it did come on a day after filling the tank up witch i havent done in a long time any way i was reading on another forum that there is a diagnostic port that if grounded the soleniod will cycle a few time then stay open does anyone know where this port is and or have any ideas what i should look at first i replaced the canister, soleniod, the round check valve right by the canister and the gas cap just over a year ago
