The pd means the code is pending, (or intermittent, stored code). Here is what the code means----this DTC indicates that an evap system purge flow was seen by the vehicles PCM ( computer ) during a non purge condition.
Simply put the EVAP purge valve was open when it should not have been. Likely a mechanical failure of the purge valve.
This repair should not be too expensive .

CODE P0430 GMC

As the code description implies the P0430 code means that the vehicle's control module has detected that the three-way catalytic converter is not working properly (is not as efficient as the factory is expecting). Replacing the oxygen (O2) sensors may sometimes fix the code, but in most cases the catalytic convert needs to be replaced to fix the problem. If the P0430 code is combined with other codes, try fixing the other codes first.

How do i fix code A047 problem?

The A047 code indicates that the A/C system is low on refrigerant. This can be caused by normal seepage of refrigerant from the system, or could be a leak that needs to be repaired and the system recharged. Either way, you need to have the A/C checked out in order to fix the code properly.

Ok had the codes come up for both crank sensors on our Pontiac Montana and knock sensor, replaced all three sensors cleared codes and the check engine light keeps coming back on after clearing codes, for...

I guess you do not know that OBD Codes have
nothing to do with replacing parts

The Codes are used along with the diagnostic
info & charts to check the system that set the codes

Only component testing will find a problem

You used the name of a codes to replace a part
with a similar name

I would guess you did no testing & have no idea why the
fault codes were set, so you found no problem, thus you
fixed nothing & the MIL Lamp is still on

You Cleared ALL DATA needed to help diagnose the issues

You lost your codes & freeze frame data at the time the codes
were set & your lost your emission monitor data

Now you get your codes & write them down
Google the codes & study the possible cause
& solutions

TYPE: OBD & your codes

93 Ford F150 5.0 with E4OD shifting hard and speedometer not working. Replace the speed censor and no codes are showing. Still same problem. Help??

The vehicle speed sensor (located in the differential) sends a signal to the Programmable Speedometer/Odometer Module (PSOM) and the Antilock Brake System (RABS module or 4WABS module depending on how your truck is equipped)

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which controls your transmission, gets its vehicle speed information from the PSOM.
I would need the engine size of your truck and know if it is 4 wheel drive before I could look up actual application charts.
However, You need to be aware that your PCM should ALWAYS output ether code 11 or code 111 if there are no other codes (again depending on how it is equipped) If it does not at least output one of these, then there is an issue with the way you are gathering codes or the PCM is defective.
Also there are three different sections in your PCM for fault codes. ALL of them need to be checked.
> Key On, Engine Off (KOEO) self test (Fix these codes FIRST)
> Key On, Engine Running (KOER) self test (Fix these codes SECOND)
> Continuous Memory codes (Fix these codes only if all other codes are fixed and these return after clearing codes and driving the vehicle)
