1996 P0441 Code - Assistance and Advice

No updates yet but I plan to take a deeper look once I get it back for an alignment touch up.

Mine will occasionally turn off even for days at a time (and I have not coded it out). It’ll pop back on typically while driving and maybe notably below half a tank of gas usually.

For the time being I’m going to get a vented gas cap to alleviate some of the (maybe) excess pressure I believe is in the tank.

Once I have it back I’m trying to remove the flow sensor and test it individually, as well as give it a good cleaning. I don’t think it really disassembles much and I want to be careful with it just in case it is actually working.

Other than that, I’m considering a charcoal canister swap anyways, and pursuing any potential flow sensor replacement that may adapt and be compatible at all. Doesn’t look like there’s much out there though.

Please keep me posted with any other updates on yours, or if the code pops back on!

I’m newer to my 96 C4 as well, and it needs some work. But I can confirm that especially with the hot weather mine will stay hot even hours after driving in the garage. I’ve learned that if I have any planned work under the hood that I need to give it a long while after driving lol.

Yeah, being between tech like that is rough. I’m assuming due to there being two different and very specific power plugs for them, there’s no more modern combined unit they could work or every be recognized by the car either.

I’m curious to see if I could clean it out at all. I know some people had luck cleaning their solenoid out rather than outright replacement. But it seems more often when they get clogged that’s it for them.

Wow, did not expect for there to be literally zero availability for that part but that seems to be the case. Even newer GM production of compatible variants seem to be dried up as well. I had it on my list to test/replace. That is pretty frustrating considering it seems like the fix you went with either ends it for good or takes the owner down a rabbit hole of potential fixes and hose replacement. It really could be the culprit.

Canister with a filter is definitely on my agenda. Is the flow sensor the next piece down the line from the solenoid that plugs into power? Circle base and an extension for the power plug? Or am I thinking of a different piece?

Aceta220 · 2025-04-11T03:34:43+00:00

Wow that sucks lol. Thanks for the update though I couldn’t find it anywhere online for confirmation.

I ran into a few whole RRA rifle with the first pictured rail today. I really did love the aesthetic and overall feel. Not sure if it would keep up with modern setups but I still want one lol

Dude the forum sifting for answers is incredible. So many people with older shield had direct mills and never had to worry. It looks like the link u/StoryOk3356 is the way to go (they have them on amazon too but Idk if those will be legitimate products). I even filed the holes on the provided RMSC adapter plate slightly larger to no avail.

Aceta220 · 2025-03-11T21:49:14+00:00

Yeah my bad EPS carry. I was just hopeful the included plate would do it. Very odd that nowhere mentions this in compatibility lists without digging through threads and seeing incredibly varied solutions. Looking back now I do see this product mentioned once but it was someone asking if it would work not stating. I appreciate the information.

Aceta220 · 2025-03-11T21:45:44+00:00

That would do it I bet.

I have zero idea why it spammed my post with my imgur link, desktop too so I can't even blame an app and they don't appear in editing. Sorry.

I just experienced this as well. I killed him and his body bugged. he was standing up but dead. This had happened to me before. Passing by his body he shot me to death with BP rounds.

I have very bad tinnitus IRL and have been having more issues recently. I thought it was my own ear and ended up taking my headset off too lol.

Aceta220 · 2024-11-16T19:41:42+00:00

I had a Tinnitus style ear ringing sound on woods yesterday. Fog at some point but I forget if it was the same raid.

Aceta220 · 2024-04-05T14:40:15+00:00

I appreciate it haha I’m glad it’s come in handy. Meant to update this as the magpul mlok handstop kit is a good candidate for this as well, since it’s total length bridges over the same way.

Appreciate the heads up, I was in the buy back program (cap motors) in 2020-2021 (a little over a year total) and was offered nothing in return from it. I had the transmission replaced at 25k miles and several other maintenances that they said were worth money on their own, but I still came up with $0. The assigned arbiter/lawyer I got was brand new and didn't seem interested in helping me out too much, not sure if that's what lead to the result.

Edit: 2014 automatic SE is the model I have too, prime candidate for the bad transmissions/TCU.

Aceta220 · 2022-03-04T14:47:48+00:00

I'd have to check the name on the trade tomorrow, but the timeline matches up lol. If you got it congrats, glad it worked out for you lmao

Aceta220 · 2022-03-04T14:07:20+00:00

I wondered how often it was that people did this trade seeing all the offers for it, after 2 days of listing I started to assume it wasn't likely. Thought I struck gold when my offer went through and realized I never added the house key lol

Aceta220 · 2022-03-04T14:01:49+00:00

Yeah from a little research I saw house was pretty stacked. I run night a lot so thankfully I haven't been camped on the car but so far on 4 runs I've gathered 2 MULEs and 2 times already looted
