    p0440 is just a evap code right? just look over your lines. some people spray brake cleaner or carb cleaner on vacuum lines to see if there's a change at idle... but it could have been as simple as the gas cap

    <MiZzBeCcA>its not rape if you yell suprise

    I get that code every couple months if I haven't tightened the gas cap properly. Tightening it always works for me but the rubber seal could be bad, so you might need to replace it.

    Clear the code, and if it isn't back within 15 miles, then you've found your problem.
