There was 50 respondes on your last thread. I believe on post #46 I recommend to perform a compression test. Did you ever do the compression test? I would say you have a burnt valve and the cylinder head needs to come off. To fix the P0443 code, Start by checking your vacuum lines to the purge solenoid.

Did the dealer tell the problem was fixed or was there other repairs that were needed?
