Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jun 11, 2010, 8:10 PM Post #2 of 4 (10106 views) Re: 1997 buick lesabre dtc p1441 Sign In That code means the comp is sensing flow when it shoudn't be purging. Possible a bad or stuck purge valve but it really should be checked out..... Most DIYers don't have the tools required to properly check this system out...... I know....not much help but some faults are like that......No real easy way around it......... kevin0925 New User Jun 11, 2010, 8:41 PM Post #3 of 4 (10103 views) Re: 1997 buick lesabre dtc p1441 Sign In i have a centech obd2/eobd code reader,i'll try and run the evap.test with it.is there anything i have to do to prepare the vehicle for the test.i worked on fords for years i'm kinda out of touch with gm driveability concerns.havent worked on them since 1990 Sidom Veteran / Moderator Jun 11, 2010, 9:19 PM Post #4 of 4 (10098 views) Re: 1997 buick lesabre dtc p1441 Sign In To fully test the system you would need a scanner with bi-directional controls. Alot of the higher end AM scan tools didn't even have that ability until recently.... This may help a bit, some of it you could check with a vacuum pump........   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
