Where is the (evap purge solenoid) located on this model? I am reading a (PO 440) code and not having any luck keeping code away. As he told me, the parts man at autozone, I have changed oxygen sensor and fuel cap. Tired of putting on parts with no luck ! Need some better advice ! THANKS

Not purge valve. 95 percent of the time a code 440 is caused by a bad vent solenoid. Its located at rear of truck by the canister. The vent solenoid is open to road debris and it usually sticks open causing a leak in the system. I find that if someone tells you to replace a gas cap for this code then they usually dont know what they are doing. Hope this helps
