    I own a 97 Pontiac Grand Prix GT 3800 V6
    i got this code at autozone p0441
    definition
    evap (evaporative emission system) small leak/no flow condition
    explanation
    the evaporative emission system is monitored for it's ability to hold vacuum.
    proable cause
    (1)defective or loose cap
    (2)EVAPcanister or hose cracked-not connected
    (3)purge or vent solenoid defective
    (4)vacuum leek at engine
    I am trying to find out round about what all this will cost me?,also can i do a few issue at a time or do i have to do everything at once to continue driving the car ?

    you need to check every one of those things till the code clears.

    evap canister and the vent solenoid is in the driver side rear quarter panel wheel well.

    purge solenoid is the one with 2 vac lines on the back of the engine, one vac line leads from the TB.

    you know where the gas cap is.

    vac leaks can be found by spraying carb cleaner at the vac lines when he car is running, if the idle jumps you found a leak.

    you can also check all the wires to these sensors, and find a local junk yard, buy cheap parts.

    you sure can, you shouldn't notice anything but a loss of mpg maybe.

    if you are having trouble filling the gas tank, like it shuts the pump off like its full, but its not full, thats a canister problem for sure 99% of the time.
