Service engine light

Ok,

so my Service engine light came on the other night.
I went to Autozone and they plugged in the scan tool.

The code that came up was : Evap Emissions, vacuum.

Now all my hoses were fine. part of the power steering line is wet, but not leaking. my break fluid is down.
Me and a friend who is going for auto mechanics, came to the conclusion of the Vacuum pump? and that this woulda explained why i have a squeeling at certain times, while driving like straight and what not, accelerating ect.

Does that sound Buyable? or has anyone else had this issue and know what it was.

I have until September before i go for my sticker again, but id like it fixed as soon as possible just for my own piece of mind.

evap emissions, vacuum? was it an evap emissions code and they said it COULD be a vacuum leak? usually the evap emissions codes point to something like a loose or broken gas cap, but if not that then maybe a vacuum leak.

what number code, P0440?

Quote:
A code P0440 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

The gas cap is not installed or working properly
The purge solenoid has failed
The canister is plugged and not working properly

It may be your EVAP purge solenoid. The hose leading to mine was broken and set off my light. On the 2.4 its mounted on top of the A/C compressor. It's an easy fix.

You replaced just the seal, or did something else?

first day i bought my car i went to fill up and left the cap at the station. light came on, i flipped. i remembered that on my sunfire that the light came on cause the guy at the station didnt put it on properly so i looked and realized i forgot to put on the cap. i went back and they pulled out a box of caps and just gave me the nicest one :P
