Small Evap Leak Code Fix 2016 Ram 1500/Purge Valve

[@kevinPerez-wx6ff]

Finally someone that talks about the symptoms

[@dalegribble60]

So the valve failed after 2 years? Nice workmanship.....but thanks for posting!

[@gside98]

Those symptoms describe exactly what's happening with my 2016 ram. Thanks for doing this video!

[@jimmywarden6320]

Was your check engine light on

[@jamesh3633]

Sorry i know this video is old but hoping for some help... Would this cause very rough idle and eventually it stalls? Spits and sputters and will stall eventually at idle unless giving it gas

[@samcharles5637]

Watched the other vids on this and You made it Quick and easy to understand! U Da Man onlymarkallen

[@Pofdmanaxe]

Thanks for the video man it really helped hopefully the code goes away now!

[@Grizzly406]

I have a 2015 1/2 ton and it’s somewhat hard starting after sitting for a while I have a p0456 code and changed the fuel cap and the problem still there I’ll change the purge valve then

[@rurydominguez]

Anyone get p0456 and p0441 does replacing the purge value get it fixed

[@yumagawlers]

Great video thanks for making it. Very helpful that the bird was translating for the birds having this issue on their trucks 😆

[@thatguyyouwant0078]

I might try this, I have an engine light and gas cap light on, maybe this would fix p0440 code? I have been through a couple of gas caps already with no luck. My eco light doesn't come on anymore when I drive, and remote start does not work.

[@brianforsberg4359]

Probably not, 0440 is a large leak, but I suppose it is possible. Also remote start is automatically disabled when a check engine light is on

[@justindevine5006]

I’m in El Paso and have the same issue on my 2016 Ram 1500. Thank you!

[@skitsh6235]

Thanks for doing this video ❤️

[@zpk450257]

Can’t believe I finally found the fix everything on this video matches my situation the hard start I just got the check engine light on and I’m also from El Paso where indeed the weather hasn’t change from 95 to 100 degrees thanks thanks thanks

[@onlymarkallen]

Hope it does the trick for you! It is a common failure point. I have replaced mine a second time since I posted this video. I think you will be pleased with the result.

[@zpk450257]

@@onlymarkallen first thing tomorrow thanks a lot honestly no one ever talks about the symptoms there’s a lot of people thinking fuel pump or fuel leak due to a hard first start of engine

[@TheEvaLucian]

I'm so glad I found this. I'm also here in El Paso and I'm having the issue with the error codes 441 and 456. I got a hold of Dick Poe Dodge and Viva Dodge. I had dick Poe tell me it's going to take them three to four days to fix it because they're short on technicians and then you've got Viva Dodge that said I could take one to two days. I've got a 2015 with 52000 miles, never a problem with anything until now and I can't afford to be without my truck that long so I am thankful that I found this LOL and now tomorrow I'm going to find the part for it and I'm going to do this myself. So I greatly appreciate this video

[@onlymarkallen]

Great! Let me know how it turns out. It is an inexpensive try at the very least. You can test the old one by blowing through it as I mentioned in the video. It is easy to change out for sure. Good luck!

[@TheEvaLucian]

@@onlymarkallen I definitely will. I don't feel like having my truck sitting at a dealership for 3 or 4 days or taking it in at the butt crack of dawn just to have someone drive me home and then come back and get me and take me back to pick up my truck. I don't have time for that lol I did call AutoZone and they do have it the part over on Lee Trevino but the guy I spoke to unfortunately was encouraging me to take it to the dealership since they "know what they're doing". I guess since I'm a female that automatically makes me incapable of figuring it out LOL so we will see and I'll let you know

[@RandomPerson-sb5mw]

what was the ecu code?

[@wildernessman760]

Thank you

[@mosescarrillo]

video is so blurry

[@opeezy100]

I had the symptoms no check engine light on. Dealership put a new tippin in or something like that lol then 2 weeks later check engine light came on. Autozone said evap can. Replaced it and light is still on. How long before check engine comes off?

[@onlymarkallen]

You have to clear the code with a reader. They can do it for you at AutoZone! If it comes back then you are still chasing the cause. Cheers

[@Notipgetsspit]

Or you can disconnect the battery for a couple mins to clear the codes

[@steventripp9373]

I am told 175-200 miles to complete diagnostic cycle

[@steventripp9373]

Unhooking the battery will only turn off check engine light temporarily, it WILL come back on.

[@JoseDiaz-yw6zh]

What was you’re truck doing

[@onlymarkallen]

All there in the vid, the symptoms. And you get and evap system code with a reader.

[@MrJgonzalez09]

Thank u

[@nightmoves001]

Did you have a high idle at times while driving and whatnot?

[@onlymarkallen]

brian keiper No sir. Only at start up

[@GuciTheBulldog1]

Mr.Allen, Did you ever experience no start due to this issue? Maybe a misfire code? Thanks for taking the time to record and post...means a lot to us all !!

[@onlymarkallen]

Yes. In below freezing temperatures. No code because the engine is not technically misfiring. It is a fueling problem with unmetered fuel vapor in the intake. In my case the engine stumbled badly at start and occasionally would fail to start in cold conditions. This was rare but did happen. Most misfire codes on these motors seem to come from failed roller lifters in certain years that eventually eat away the cam lobe and cause lifter tick and eventually a misfire code.

[@GuciTheBulldog1]

@@onlymarkallen thanks for the response!! Regarding the temperature, that's definitely not the case because the truck would not start at 90.degrees outside. Yes I'm aware of the cam issues with these Rams but I was told by a couple dodge techs that IF I had the cam issue, I would still be able to start the truck. Would run rough, but it would start. The truck ran perfect before this starting issue. No shake/rattle/misfiring.. Auto shops here are ridiculous, asking $200+ for a diagnostic fee per hr... insane.

[@arizonacardinals6196]

My 2019 Ram 1500 has a p0441 code purge valve, I replaced the purge valve and I'm still having a check engine light come on after I drive it for a couple days, these trucks do not come with a gas cap

[@GuciTheBulldog1]

@@arizonacardinals6196 P0441 ... on your 2019 ram, is the purge valve at the engine compartment or by the gas tank/charcoal canister ?

[@arizonacardinals6196]

@@GuciTheBulldog1 my purge valve is at the engine bay. I'm in the process of trying to find a solution currently and any help would be a blessing
