CEL: P1443 EvaporativeEmissionControlSystem-Vacuum System-Purge Control Sol...

[ocelot]

Ok so I got a CEL and went to autozone to get the code pulled, and heres what I came up with:

P1443 Evaporative Emission Control System - Vacuum System - Purge Control Solenoid or Purge Control Valve fault.

The light goes on and off, but when its on its usually on for about a day or something. The car seems to be running fine when the light is on or off, but I want to get it fixed. What exactly could the problem be, and how will it effect the car?

Sounds like something is wrong with your a/c. On the other hand how would the car know that....I would call your local eealer talk to a tech..

usually that code is for a bad EVAP system purge control solenoid.

Hey man I'm having the exact same problem and made a post a little while back about this. Got a few people telling me the same thing havent bought the parts yet but these are suppose to be the parts you need to fix the problem. Heres my previous post

all the evap system does is route gas fumes from the gas tank to the intake


emissions. your car should run fine (i don't think just the cel alone affects driveability)

Ah, thanks for the info guys, i'll check it out and post the results.

Just change it out, part cost like $25 bucks.
Car will run like azz if you let it go.

I have to change mine in my 97 GT.

Do a google search and you can learn all about this part

i had the same problem so i replaced the soleniod and guess what it didnt stop it. So i dont know what to do now. I have been told that i have to buy a new charcoal canister.

 

[RandyStinchcomb]

you'll need two parts, 1 is the canister purge valve E6ZZ-9C915-A $44.23 and the thermistor probe F57Z-14A606-BA $15.15

we have plenty of both in stock if you can't find

Could be worth checking the fuel evap hose, if you have an an after market pumpkin cover then it's possible the hose have been damaged by it hoes cost $50.
But then my CEL light on but it was on all the time!

Part# E6ZZ-9C915-A :It's the small plastic valve on a vacuum hose directly behind the TB against the firewall

This fixed my code and it's been almost a year and no more 1443 code. Before you replace anything else, try that part first.

false info, this has nothing to do with drivability. the purge solenoid will have a color coated hose orange or green. just be sure to make sure to change with the correct part. It's only $40 bucks or so with tubing all it will do if you don't change it is throw a check engine light.

I had that code for like 2 years, car ran fine, but had to get it fixed for smog testing.

i have had the code for about 2 years now and last time i got it smoged it stayed off for the whole test i passed with flying colors and on the way back it lit up for the same code

No its not false info, my 97 ran like crap with it bad. (as designed)

Your statement make no logical sense, if it was just a light only. No cars would have working emissions systems.........


I changed mine when I got back from the field, car runs great.................

Get your facts straight before you slam a Mechanic....................
