Get RID of your mechanic. You have paid him $$$ of dollars and he has done NOTHING to help your cars problem. . He is lying when he says it takes tens of thousands of dollars of equipment to read the codes. Your code reader will read them all. As to your problem. You seem to indicate that the stalling incidents occur weeks apart. Is that so? Also you see with your scan gauge there are no error codes in the computer. The fact that there are no codes indicates that while there may be a problem, it isnt going to cause dammage to the car. An ignored set code on the computer potentially COULD dammage the car. But you dont have that. So I would continue to post your efforts here and we will help you. Continue to live with the problem and hopefully something will occur to us. My 240D knocked on startup for years but otherwise ran fine. One day I changed the fuel injectors and POOF the knocking went away! |

Classic fuel cap not on properly or not sealing. If the fuel cap is good then its something in the evaporitive control system. Here is a list of things the bok says to check: fuel cap incorrectly installed, fuel cap dammaged, vacuum hose dammaged loose, fuel tank cracked, charcoal cannister dammaged, open or short in vapor pressure circuit, vapor pressure sensor, fuel tank overfill check valve dammaged, ECM, Basically you check the fuel cap and hope thats it. If not its something to do with the fuel evaporitive control system. PO440 is the fuel cap. PO441 and 446 are the evap system. Good News/Bad News: the GN is this is not something likely to affect the drivability of the engine or dammage the cat or something. (unless its the ECN of course...unlikely IMO) If you cant find and fix the problem you should be able to drive the car OK. Also, this is something the dealer should be able to fix as they see this a lot. The BN is the car probably wont pass an inspection as most states now check for error codes rather thsan test emissions. Good luck and tell us what you find out!

Today my ECHO is EIGHT years old! Where does the time go huh? I celebrated by treating it to a car wash with the last coupon in my book. (10 washes for $50) 43,200 miles. At this rate in another 12 years it will have 106,000 miles on it!

Replying to: kneisl1 (Nov 15, 2008 6:09 am) And this happened right after I got an oil change. Coincidence? I don't know. I guess it could of came off by accident. But I'm not taking my car to that shop anymore. |
