Problem starting car after long drive
Anyone else have any issues like this? I just drove from Idaho to Colorado and I would stop every 2-3 hours and let the car cooldown for at least a few minutes before I got gas. Everytime I went to start it back up it would crank forever and wouldn't start unless i pumped the gas once or twice. Then it would have a very rough idle so I revved it a bit just to keep it from dieing and it would be fine after that.
I also have the CEL on right now It came on a couple weeks ago and I got it checked out and it was P0441...gas cap was loose apparently. So I tightened it and it went away after a day or so. It came back again a week later, got it checked, same thing, went away shortly after. Then it came back again and has been on the whole way to Colorado. I'm about to get it checked out again.

RE: Problem starting car after long drive
yep that's it (EVAP) evaporative emission system, problems are hose connection(s), intake leak, EVAP canister purge valve, check the canister purge valve resistance 22-30 ohms but I recon the pipe has a hole in it, camera battery flat so cant take a picture[:-]
