So my 1997 5.2L ram 1500 has had the check engine light on for a while now. I keep getting the P0441 code saying the EVAP emission incorrect flow. Has anyone had this problem that would be able to tell me around how much it would cost to get this fixed? I realize that there are several different parts that need to be examined to find the source of this error so can anyone shed some light?

Also my truck is getting roughly 11mpg on average and its a 1997 5.2L V8 2wd stock tires and suspension, so I know it should be quite a bit better, is this error code whats hurting my mpg?

Thanks in advance

 

Possibly. Need to check things out, and see just what has failed. The valve is on the back side of the engine, on the drivers side. Buried under the cowl..... There are a selection of vacuum lines to/from it, need to check those, make sure none are cracked. Especially the ones coming from the canister..... need to pull those, and see if there is any carbon in there. If there is, canister has failed, and you need to replace it, AND flush out all the lines.
