A little over 2 months ago, I got a check engine light and it was 1443 (eveporative emissions control) Today the check engine light came on it was good ol 1443 again. THe code was cleared. My question is this. After it is cleared, would the code pop up again right away or does it take time? Im thinking something wasnt reading properly possibly because the weather (sticking?) or would it come on again after driving around a while?

I had the code cleared and it hasnt come back on yet.......
I did notice one thing though. After I have been driving, when i open the gas cap, i do not hear any hissing sound..... the gas cap seems to be in good condition. Anyone have any ideas?

lol, what a coincidence

I just posted a topic about this... I'm not sure if I should replace the evap. canister, solenoid, or what?

yeah, I don't have any hissing either. I think something went bad? In my service manual it says to check for crimped/blocked hoses... I wonder if I can use a voltmeter to check if its actually working.

I don't think it'll effect performance... but you probably won't pass smog. I get tired of the check eng. light
