About 3 weeks ago i bought a 97 Mustang Cobra for a large dealership. I went to take the car for emissions testing in Wisconsin and i failed. They said that i have a check engine light on and the code is 1443. Well my check engine light was not on because someone (possibly the dealership) removed the bulb. I installed a bulb and disconnected the battery for 5 mins hoping the computer would reset itself because i called the dealership and they had said that maybe someone had not tighted the gas cap. Well the check engine light came on. Well i had the code checked out by another dealership and they told me that my car has an evap problem. As far as i know that means that there is a gas fume leak somewhere and it has something to do with the o2 sensors. Well i was told that the way to fix it is a ford dealership needs to pump nitrogen though my cars fuel system and that well solve my problem. Anybody have this similar problem or does anyone have and idea how much something like this would cost to fix. I am supposed to be getting 4.10 gears put in the car on saturday and i am not sure i can afford the install price plus fix my evap problem.

Thanks for your time reading my really long post and i hope some of you can help me

~$60 for 2 parts(a solenoid and a sensor) fixed the 1443 code on my car. not sure if the cobra's have the same parts. On my car a hose was coming out the back of the stock plenum, along the hose was a sensor and solenoid. Went agaisnt the firewall towards the passenger side.
