I remember when I was a baby and my dad held me in the air and talked to me just like that..
LOL

What a great tip! My hose was not only disconnected, but the plastic tubing flange was broken off! Many, many thanks ... this gift keeps on giving!
Metromile auto insurance uses a module that stays plugged into the diagnostic port while driving to track gps locations for billing by the mile. I wondered if it would screw things up if I ever needed to unplug it to plug in a diagnostic code readout tool. The very next day my check engine light came on. When I logged into my email inbox I had a message from them that PO44O code had been indicated. They actually diagnosed it before I even had a chance to get back home and diagnose it myself. Thanks to your video my fears of an expensive repair have been stopped. Thank you for an honest clear and concise video.
Sir. You are a scholar and a gentleman. This worked on my Toyota Echo. Thank you. Happy Memorial Day!
Thank you very much The Car Doctor. I got check engine light on and code P0441, 0442 and 0446. I've been searching for what cause it all over the internet and could not find the answer until seeing your video. You save me from having to go to the dealership and get charge for a simple fix. Once again thanks!
Car Doc.. thank you thank you! Your description 'Did you recently have the oil changed or check your air filter and suddenly experience a check engine light and stored codes P0440 and/or P0446?' was EXACTLY right...CEL came on after and oil change. Repair facility got upset when I asked them to figure it out because CEL came on 2 miles later after oil change.
They left it unplugged.
Wait--it gets better. ANOTHER video of yours perfectly diagnosed another vehicle of mine (-no reverse/no 2nd/4th gear.)
Thanks!
wow, very nice. So glad I could help. You just made my day!
Thank you so much Tim! I have a 2002 Highlander and sure enough Lube express knocked this off during an oil change. This definitely saved me a few bucks. Thanks again.
Lol man you were right on point! Two codes popped up 0441,0446 changed the gas cap and four days later, CE light was still on. Found this video, checked the air filter hose and yep it was off (after an oil change from the drive in oil place). Great video, saved $$ and time. Thanks Tim!
You saved me potentially hours of troubleshooting. Reattached hose, cleared codes and all is good. Thanks!!!
Tim, you are spot on, thank you very much for your courtesy. 🤙
OMFG! I'm sitting here after seeing this stupid code on my 02 Highlander, I watch this video, run down to the garage, and what's staring it me in the face ? That friggin HOSE! Thank you so much. You just saved me some money. What really got my attention is when you said, right after an oil change.
2000 Camry Solara .... quickie lube and customer returns 2 days after her oil change over to me after they sold her a gas cap and it didn’t fix it. You’re a scholar and a gentleman
Good video Tim, I've seen a lot of the Toyota"s come in with the exact problem.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I hope I never knocked one off myself.
Thank you very much. Recently before the Christmas break I changed the air filter on our 2001 Toyota Sienna. After the holidays we had both of these codes. I just checked and indeed I had forgotten to connect the hose. It took me less than 10min to do. Thank you very much.
Excellent!! I check this out due to a PO446 code and low and behold, that line was detached exactly like you said! Thank you for keeping your videos short and to the point. Too many YT videos go on and on and on and waste time. Your Rock!!! (U
Thank you very much Tim! Valvoline service center knocked my hose loose. You are a Godsend!
I was just about to change out filler neck when I came across your video. So I went to look the air box,and there it was as a boil on the but of humanity. thanks saved me from alot of heart ache and cussin'
Thank you so much for this video!! As soon as you said the air filter and that hose coming off I immediately knew that was the problem!! Thanks
Fixed in 2 seconds! Thank you for the context and easy to follow video
Thank you for the video, I just had a lady at the gym, ask me to check out her highlander, and it has codes 441 455 and 446, so I will check out that hose, great job!
If it's not that, a P0446 is often the purge valve on the charcoal canister or the canister itself.
2003 Toyota Highlander, P0041, P0042 & P0046 just popped up - yup, that was it! Thanks for the tip!
Where did u connect it to ?
Nailed it! Had my 2001 Tacoma safety checked recently, and got a P0446 code. Whaaaaaa? Right after a safety check (which the truck passed)?
Watched your video, took a look at the air filter box, and saw a hose crushed into the lip of the box, instead of plugged into its port. Not just sloppy, but suspicious.
Do you think they wanted me to come back and pay for hundreds of dollars of unnecessary repairs? Nah...that never happens. :)
Thanks, Doc!!!
More than likely they just screwed up. Glad you got it fixed up!
Hey Thanks. My wife just recently had the oil changed in her 2001 Solara-BINGO!! Went out and found the hose had not been reattached. Took just a few minutes to locate the hose and fix it. Thanks for saving me the time and money to have it diagnosed. Now if you could help me with the P0446 on my 99 4runner that would be great.
As stated in this video. My 2002 Highlander's hose was detached. Thank you Doc!
Glad to assist!
AWESOME NEVER WOULDA THOUGHT OF THAT ,BUT JUST WENT AND CHECKED IT AND BY GOD IF THAT HOSE WASN'T JUST HANGIN THERE UNATTACHED ,,PUT IT BACK ON AND NOW NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT,,AND 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS WANTED TO CHARGE ROUND ABOUT 500$ AND WAS NOTHING MORE THANTHE VACUUM LINE ON THE AIR FILTER COMPARTMENT,,THANK YOU FOR SAVIN ME A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY,,YOU DA TOYOTA BOSS TY BEN IN TEXAS
Glad it helped. Blessings!
Thanks amigo. My light came on yesterday and at first I was hoping it was a gas cap as it would be the cheapest fix, but I checked my air filter and sure enough, the hose had popped out. I change my own filters though so that one is on me!
Well we all make mistakes. haha. Glad you got it figured out. Take care
F'n amazing. I went and checked my 03 Highlander and that hose was off. Thanks for the info man!
Thank you!!! This just happened to me at a drive through oil change
LOL, I went to check my Celica, and sure enough, that hose was off. Good call, many thanks :)
Thanks, the disconnected hose was exactly the issue for my 2002 Highlander.
We always gotta blame the quicky lube guy for upselling his little heart out... poor little quicky lube guy...
we have all been the quicky lube guy a some point haha
Hahahahaha.
NOT ALWAYS QUICKY LUBE GUY LOT OF PEEPS CAHANGE THEIR OWN AIR FILTER AS THIS COULD HAVE BEEN THE CASE ,CHK ENG LIGHT WAS ON 2 YEARES BEFORE WE GOT THE CAR,,AND BEEN DRIVIN ME NUTS FOR LAST 2 MONTHS ,,,SO DON'T ALWAYS BE SO QUICK TO BLAME ,,JUST SAYIN
I hate quickie lube guy lol
They have a choice, upselling or unemployment.
I cant believe it. Thank you so much. The hose was off just like you said. I have an old Camry.
2000 Toyota Echo, 310,000km. I had a good laugh when I walked over to find that to be the exact issue. The spring clamp that comes stock on the line doesn't have much strength. I figure that over time the engine rattle could have worked it loose. I replaced it with a screw clamp to ensure it stays on. Thanks, bud!
i got the code P0440 & i just watched your video & open my 03 Toyota highlander exactly you said the hose was out thank you so much saved some money Problem was solved.
Very good!
Nice video Tim showing the little things that get overlooked like an unplugged hose. Take care and have a good one!
Thanks. Have a good weekend.
With your video, it was a 5 minute fix for my 2001 Echo. Thank you, sir.
Excellent! Blessings.
THANK YOU!!!! YEEESSS it was just the disconnected hose! You saved me time and $$$
You hit it right on the money, but they broke mine of, I did a quick fix and ordered a new one, thanks again, I can sleep now.
Thanks for posting this, my hose was disconnected as well right after an oil change and an immediate CEL.
Thank you for this video!!! :) you are right!! Last time this was off… they charged me a lot to change the part, but apparently there is always some new problem with my Camry 2002… 😒
Hopefully my personal mechanic will solve my problem soon!! For a fair price!!
Thank youuuuuu
P0446 was on my 2000 toyota 4runner sport edition did a bunch of testing and found the charcoal canister and the vsv was bad also the vent solenoid
Thanks for the info very informative and yes it does take a real mechanic to solve todays complex emission systems
Well or someone with access to TH-cam! Thanks for watching
Good to know. Just snagged a 2001 Corolla. No CEL, but vehicle ran funny. Hooked up a reader and got the P0440. Changing the instrument panel bulbs were easy, but didn't know where to start with this and parts are expensive. Thank you!
Thanks for the heads-up Tim!
You bet!
Thank you alot. I had same issue last week and fixed the issues . saved me alot
Car Doc. I had an oil change a month or so ago. I have been driving with the ck engine light on for awhile; waiting until the last few days before I have to get a smog test; which I knew It would not pass. Came across your video; I can't thank you enough for the info and the heads-up. Thanks. I just subscribed and getting on with my life.
Thank you so much for this video. My hose was off on my Highlander just like you showed. I fixed it in less than 2 minutes. I just Subscribed! Thank you again.
Thank you very much for sharing helpful this video.
change oil for a few of my neighbors and it can be some what of a challenge at times. lol. Have a good holiday Tim!!
Good on you for sure. I have found that if you live on a dirt road the waste oil can be used to lower dust levels in the hood...Might not go over well with EPA or homeowners associations but hey...Have a good long weekend!
Wow. We use to do that course that was before the green police came to town and we had dirt. Wait a minute are the green police the guys that make sure you plant your lawn right. Green side up.
Tim, thank you so much for the info. It helped greatly.
You are awesome right in the money thanks 🎉
Thank you brother!
Mine was hanging off as well.
Thanks a lot. That was exactly what happened to my Highlander.
Tim it's amazing to me how people will investigate in finding a good doctor, dentist or lawyer but when it comes to your cars maintenance that you depend on its just go to the cheapest place with the worst reputation. Just my rant. I feel so much better now. LOL
This is a safe place to rant Steve. I want people to know that and that's why I do it so often. Thinking of starting a new channel where all we do is rant. Might be a big hit.
+The Car Doctor You know what Tim there has never been a channel where people can express themselves on a common channel. We all have cell phones and no place to express your thoughts unless you want to make your own channel. Well most people don't want to start a channel but what if there was a channel you could send in a clip of your thoughts on various subjects . If the subjects were such that it sparks the interest of viewers I say yes. I think you were being a bit Steve Robish but I think it's an interesting concept, I'm all about being different. LOL
Agreed...IM right there with you buddy; we are two peas in a pod if I don't say myself. One thought scums to mind however...Do you think any of the posted "Video Rants" would include any obscene four letter words like LOVE or GOSH DARN or STEVE?
+Tim Donner Well your living in the home of the free and the land of the brave so it's only American to respect the first amendment of your fore fathers and embrace the freedom of speech that so many soldiers fought and died for so we today have the privilege of living in country that embraces the right to express yourself as you wish without fear of retribution . My biggest shortcoming is not being as tolerant or accepting of what I have just said , I'm not there yet Tim but I try.
I cussed once
Good to know. If I ever run into this I'll be a hero when I fix it in one minute flat.
You'll be the hero for sure!
The Car Doctor à
It worked!!!! Disconnected and I fixed it alone! I would have spent hundreds $500 brand new $250 used!
oceania z for what
Hi Tim, It has been my experience that you really can't afford to have a quicky lube place work on your car. I have herd many horror stories about stuff they have done. If you can't do it yourself, pay more, but it is really cheaper. Good Video...Thanks
I feel bad since Im not always available to change oil on my customers cars mostly because I loose money doing it. I know its a good time to look things over and sell work but im usually too busy to even do that properly. Then I pull the oil drain plug and oil sprays all over my shirt and floor, I drop the filter then have to wait two hours for a filter I didn't have or special fluids for some weird application all the time tying up a rack that could be turning $98 per hour while doing an oil change for 39.95 But then they go to a quick lube place and they cross thread their drain plug, double gasket the filter, put power steering fluid in the brake fluid and sell them stuff they don't need. Oh, and then knock the hose off the air cleaner and cause the check engine light to come on so they have to come visit me. haha. What a broken world we live in.
Saved me $1200 thank you Sir
I have a 99 gs400 and the only code I get is p0446. I have changed gas cap, replaced vacuum hoses under hood, old ones had cracks. CEL was off for a week then back on. Same code p0446.
Thanks man! Much appreciated
Enjoy the coming holiday Tim!
Thank you, I most certainly will. Sunny skies and calm seas. The wife might even let me take her out on the ocean for some shrimp and sunburn...maybe even a fish or two. You have a good time as well.
Had a shop break this same solenoid and I had to get grizzly with them before they gave me the money for a new one. One of the reasons I started doing my own maintenance.
Ouch, lame
i was having the same error codes...I just checked under my es300 the hose wasn't connected! just connected the hose... thanks a bunch..
Awesome! Good job
Thanks bro,you saved the day .!
Those quick places strip bolts, and the work isn’t done properly. Nice video it be nice if you had a video on using smoke machine.
Thanks for the Toyota Tip! This is clearly the manufacturer's doing. Quit hanging crap off routine maintenance items and burying them. Also drop the pretty plastic engine covers that hide leaks, rubbed hoses and wires and make it more difficult for visual inspections! Rant over, my apologies.
I agree that they tend to make common maintenance things difficult and the hose placement was poor design. It's almost like they want everyone but factory trained folks to fail at servicing their brand so that people become disappointed with independent shops as much as they are with the dealership. Hey this rant thing is super fun!
Love this.Thanks! Whats that light he uses? It looks super useful. Has a clamp or a magnet on it?
Thank you so much for this information. Otherwise I would have spend thousands of dollars to fix my rav which had the engine light on after a service
Saved me $500 thanks.
Thank you very much. This my case.
Thanks for you videos very helpful
Thank for the video.
Thanks !! you save me a less 500 Dollars!! But you forgot tell how to reset check Engine lights off , which is we need "disconnect battery a minute then connect again "that is reset " then check Engine light will be off.
Nice to start the day with an easy one!
Always!
I remember after dealers changing oil that moment they Neck out the connection , this is the big reasons I sure.
I just had my oil change and now I'm getting P0446. I was under the hood yesterday and noticed the hose you mentioned was off on mine. Wow. Thanks for the vid.
One question: How long will it take for the vehicles computer to reset the evap stats?
Probably a few days of driving at least. Glad it helped!
Nice one. Awsome sr
Yes, this guy rocks.. thanks sir.
Saved by this video! Thanks!
Hi! Great video! So happy I found it as my 2002 Camry had codes and hose was disconnected. Only disappointment is video didn’t show where the hose connects. I found where it connects, but the tip of plastic where it connects broke and is stuck inside hose. What part is that I wonder. Thank you!
Hahaha you are so right!!!! Btw, that was a nice looking Ford in the background.
Thanks. That's my push truck. 460 powered F350 4X. I got it for $500 after the last owner had the neutral safety wiring wrap around the front driveshaft while traveling at a high rate of speed. When the truck suddenly died he noticed a large ball of wires wrapped around the driveshaft. It had pulled every wire from the tail lights to the insturment cluster down and wrapped around the shaft. It took me a few days to straighten that mess out but well worth it. I spent a bunch of time and money on the engine and transmission recently just because. It's a real powerhouse.
Please make a video of that beast!!!! I have 95 wimpy f150 with the 5.0. Please give me some more footage of that baby.
Will do. Ive had another 460 on the engine stand for a few months and when I get some dough I'll be building a 572 stroker motor with it. Don't even know for sure what it's going in but it will surely be fast!
i changed oil and oil filter and air filter on 98n camry and now have P0446 , I found a wires with red cap with hole in it just hanging there but can't find where it goes.
Great explanation, good job.
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Hope it helps someone.
Hello Sir... Do you have a video for toyota corolla 2002?? thank you so much
Great info thank you it helped alot!
hi# i have a 2001 camry with p0446! i all ready change the canister but still have the p0446 code! put a new toyota oem fuel cap! help
Did you check to see if the hose was knocked off the air cleaner housing?
Wow that was exactly what happened to mine
The hose from filter was off
Tis is what I tell customers ..."We ran out of "FREE" yesterday morning" !
Yes every thing os good there! I erased the code 2 days a go and till now now check engine
Excellent!
Now that would make the check engine light come on as soon as you start the car right? My light wont come back on for about a week after resetting it???
Hi, Can you help P0446 on Toyota Prius 2004? :) Thanks in Advance
Thanks man, this saved me hundreds
Hose falls off mostly because of engine jerking when u start it, it’s like u’d be pulling it off
2001 Toyota Tacoma 3.4L I have my hose connected to my air box but I can’t figure out where it connects to. Code 0440
Fixed my 4runner P0446. Found a leak in my canister-pulled it and ran a bead of black FIPG and its done. Meanwhile my wifes Camry/Solara 3.0 check engine came back on for the P0440 after I put the hose back on. Any ideas?
Thank you!
And sure enough!! Thanks man
What you think for P0441 and P0446 ?
Thanks Tim that's what it was.
