2002 Saturn service engine soon light back on Sign In

This light (OBD reading PO440) went out after replacing gas cap. It came back on 2 days later right after I replaced the AC compressor. The AC worked fine but the light came back on and the engine started misfiring about 5 miles down the road. Turning off the AC solved the misfiring but the light is still on and summer is approaching. Still same OBD reading PO440.

The P0440 has nothing at all to do with engine performance. You have a problem with the Evaporative emissions system and it will likely have to be smoke tested.

tell us which model and engine, MAYBE just maybe your AC repair did something to the PURGE valve ...

the generic nature of P0440 would call for the procedure HT suggested, and a scanner but I am an optimist
