I did not screw down the gas cap after a fill-up and got a Check Engine light & then a PO 440 code from my code tester. Tightened the cap and the code went away. Easy fix.
This video that you guys made, it saved me a few hundred dollars. After I watched it, I replaced the same part, once the code cleared I took it to the emission testing and passed it. Thanks again.
If that code pops up again replace the solenoid that is mounted on the side of the engine. A few months later it went out causing the same problem. I am assuming the seals in the valve get dry rotted over time causing the vapors to leak.
I'm just reading the comments and litterly answered all my questions but same thing it was wierd I found diterated lines I replaced but that went to my abs module and I replace the gas cap I haven't smoke machined it yet trying to get on but this was a good video I'm glad I could see it all
Thanks for the video. I was able to replace this part without even jacking up the truck! Hopefully the Service Engine Soon light with the P0440 code doesn't come back.
If it does we found one more solenoid like that one one up on the side of the engine on the passenger side. We replaced it a month after this one. The rubber seals just wear out from use and age.
You guys are awesome, thank you for making this video, my 99 S10 2.2 has the same problem I think the reader said P0440 the purge solenoid I'm going to take your advice and try that first thanks again like & subscribed
Good video, I have a 98 s10 with the 2.2 L engine and I've replaced the Vent Valve, purge solenoid valve and gas cap. I'm thinking it may be the charcoal canister. I guess thats the next thing. This sucks.
Im pulling a 440 code on my 2000 2.2 s10 for the evap system, would this fix apply to my truck as well? Ive been having fuel economy and power issues for awhile, feels like it would be the same issue
It might be the problem. There are several issues it could be with that code. Unfortunately in 2001 they lumped several problems into one code. It was a trial and error on our part until we found the exact problem. It is a cheap and easy part to replace.
Matt good video man, very informative. I just got a 98 S10 2.2L w/ 70k original miles. Threw this code the other day. Should I start with this vent solenoid? And going forward, what is the other solenoid on the side of the engine? Purge valve?
Yes, it is my son's truck. About 9 months after this video we got the code again and that time we replaced the solenoid on the engine. We should have replaced both at the same time.
@@matthewrandall6320 yeah my cil just came on today..and it was wierd because i smelled a faint scent of gas...with the tank pressure issue, im hoping its just gas cap, if not thanks for the heads up in this vid.
@@matthewrandall6320 cool, im gonna relace the cap first, clear the codes and see if it returns if so then i know what to tackle thanks again . i can keep an update.

DAMN, good thing you told us that it's not necessary to pull off the bed to get to it! I was already imagining the headache for this weekend.
😂😂😂 I did too
I’ve been searching for the right video for awhile now and I found it thank you sm!!!

You are welcome, glad it helped.
@@matthewrandall6320 it really did help me greatly. The shop in my area gave me an estimate for $ 750.00

@@matthewrandall6320 Definately, will keep that in mind. Thanks again.
@@matthewrandall6320 will this cause the same misfire as well?

Thanks guys same issue same truck got my new vent valve and was gonna say why take the bed off? lol...but you explained that it was already off.
Glad it helped 😊👍
Dixie's a happy girl that she diagnosed the truck right.

@@matthewrandall6320 Thanks for the tip. Do you have a video for that one too?
@@dalec57 no I dont. I have not had time for a while to make any videos. I have just been way too busy.
The information I need, thank you guys.

Your welcome. Good luck. 👍
Is that what the part called, purge solenoid?
@@ginog2490 purge valve or vent valve is what I have seen it described as being.
Thanks bro
@@ginog2490 sorry bro was drunk but not neccessarly driving down the whole sidewalk

13:51 dog approves of fix, road testing was unnecessary.
Thank you my service engine light turned off
Good deal! 👍

@@matthewrandall6320 you ever get a fuel smell by the tank after driving but never find any visible leaks?
@@MetalHermit83 no I have not had that. I would think that it would be a bad cap seal or a crack in the filler neck hose.
Hi. I replaced this part but check engine still on. Where is the other solenoid?
Mounted to the passenger side of the engine block

After doing this I would replace both of them. The other one was on the side of the engine. It went out the next week after fixing this one.
Can you still drive around with this code(p0440)? Mine is on a 4.3L
Yes you can. Fuel mileage suffers a little bit, and it won't pass an emissions inspection
Looks good, boys!
They work real hard at it.
is this your truck your working on ?, im having the same problem. with my sonoma 98.
Yes, it is my son's truck. About 9 months after this video we got the code again and that time we replaced the solenoid on the engine. We should have replaced both at the same time.

We had that same faint smell of gas, because the selonoid was stuck open venting the fumes
@@matthewrandall6320 cool, im gonna relace the cap first, clear the codes and see if it returns if so then i know what to tackle thanks again . i can keep an update.
Thank you so much
Your welcome
I have the same code, P0440. At the pump, fuel leaks back out of my gas cap area while pumping gas. Clogged canister? Clogged lines?
Ahhh your filler tube right we're it goes past the bed can leak
I have a P0440 code and I'm wondering if that is causing hard cranking after I drive it for a while?
It should not cause that.
Yesterday it when I started my truck it sounded like my starter is going bad so I'm going to replace it and the canister vent valve solenoid
My s10 2.2 is the same its when its between hot and cold it starts like crap
Awesome video! Dixie! What’s with these kids! Get a haircut big guy! #unitedagrocks
He is going for a early 90s Allen Jackson style.
Thx
