EVAP Malfunction
I've been driving with a CEL for almost a year.
I'm bringing up:
P0440 "Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction"
P0441 "Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow"
On the service manager's advise at one dealership I put in a new purge solenoid, which was a waste of 60 bucks cause the CEL came back on.
Just out of curiosity I went to another dealership recently and that service person said I might have to change my EGR or PCV or both.
How do I go about this?
Anyone have this problem before?

PCV is easy and cheap. It is on the right side of the valve cover. Unscrew it and screw in the new Dodge one. I should probably do that on mine actually.
EGR is...somewhere (going to put the manuals back on the computer tonight, need them too much) and is generally not cheap to fix/replace. Maybe try the PCV first and see what happens. It couldn't hurt to replace it either way.
