Engine Code 440
P0440 is a General Evap failure that the computer can't diagnose the exact issue on it's own. Typically a gas cap will give you a large leak code, not the general failure. Make sure you didn't leave a vacuum hose disconnected that attaches to the purge solenoid/intake manifold.
It was PO440 and not 1440, I removed the gas cap and reinstalled. This may have been the problem. I filled up before the code showed up, about 40 miles latter. I will drive in the morning and post what happen if anything at all.
440 is a evap system failure not a leak as in a gas cap being off or loose.
A mechanic may be in order unless you are very familiar with trouble shooting the evap system.

I hope you are right, but that 440 code is a malfunction code not a leak code for the evap. If it comes back, you will need to look more into a complete evap malfunction.
Good luck.

I just got this code, have cleared it with scanner, filled tank drove it came back, check gas cap it was tight, have cleared it three times, where should I start looking for the problem ?
