Toyota Avalon Problem
Model Years Affected: 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004
Average Mileage: 148,740 mi (68,000 mi - 197,530 mi)
Intermittent failure of a purge control valve in the evaporative emission system can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate. A failed valve should be replaced to correct this problem.

The code is P0441 and has not been serviced yet. My research shows this is a hard to diagnose problem and could be several things. No change in performance of the engine and MPG is the same.

this is the second time in one month that the same problem is there, different ventilator (there are three? of them)--last one cost us 234$ and now we have another. any way to shut off that warning light and live with an unnecessary evap system?

Check Engine Light comes on--OBD tool says Incorrect Purge flow--code Po441, and PO446, vent control circuit. Does anyone know what to do here?

check engine light illuminated by purge control solenoid failure - $350 repair bill last month (8/10) or I would not have passed emissions testing coming up soon.
