2000 S-10=PO440 Evap Malf. PLEASE HELP ME - 7/9/2008 11:57:32 AM    leomazzone   Posts: 1 Joined: 7/9/2008 Status: offline Hi I have a 2000 S-10 and have been trying to get it inspected.  The Check Engine Light has been on and when I got it checked it gave the DTC PO440 Evap Malfunction.  So I started with what everyone has told me to try which was trying a different gas cap > I''ve tried 4 different gas caps so I know this isn''t the problem so then I decided to run new vaccuum lines because mine were starting to dryrot a little and it was time to do it anyway but after I did this I had no leaks at all but the problem still never went away.  This has been so frustrating especially because I have a 98 S-10 that got wrecked and has front end damage but I can use all parts almost off of it if I could just figure out what the problem is.  I just had to get my transmission rebuilt so I am running low on cash and was hoping I could fix this myself somehow.  If any of you could help me I would appreciate it more than you know.  My Inspection ran out in 06 yeah I know that is stupid and I live in NC so Im bout to get hit with a 250 fine before long.  Thanks for your time everyone , I really appreciate it.

You are losing vacuum on the fuel tank and its tripping the code. Did you ever get the code cleared? _____________________________ In Obama''s new Nation, you pledge with your hand over your crotch instead of your chest. (in reply to leomazzone) Post #: 2
