A vehicles evaporative emissions system consists of multiple components such as the vapor canister and purge filter. In order to repair evaporative problems the failed/failing components must be diagnosed and condition verified. A common method is scan for OBD trouble codes, and inspect hoses for leaks.

What is fault code on 2004 avalanche PO446?

The P0446 fault code on a 2004 Chevy Avalanche typically indicates an issue with the evaporative emissions control system vent control circuit.

WhyFuel gauge reads over full when tank is not?

Chances are that the fuel level sensor that sits in the gas tank and registers the amount of fuel left is faulty. Either the sensor itself is bad, or the wiring/connectors leading up to it. An additional possible complication is that often times the fuel level sensor is often part of the fuel pump in the gas tank. Hope this helps!


What causes sputtering in a Saturn when hitting the gas?

There can be several causes. If the "check engine" light is on, the computer has detected the problem and has information for you but you'll need to use a code scanner. (rent, borrow or buy one from your local auto parts retailer) If the check engine light does NOT come on, it's probably a fuel problem since auto manufacturers don't want to start throwing codes when you run out of fuel. If you know that you AREN'T out of fuel, check the fuel pressure at the rail. There should be a fuel pressure test port where you can connect a fuel pressure gauge. If the fuel pressure is low, your engine will not be getting sufficient fuel and will run poorly. Low fuel pressure can be caused by a worn fuel pump, a partially clogged fuel filter or a defective fuel pressure regulator.


Why does a car slow down sputter then backfire on acceleration?

This is a very broad question, but I will say this it is more than likely bad fire (spark) or bad fuel (not enough, too much, poor quality). Spark could be any thing from sparkplug all the way back up to the distributor or timing. Fuel could be water or rust in the fuel, clogged injector/injector's. probably NOT fuel pump or filter.
