Top 10 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE Questions & Answers

The fuse is located in the fuse box under the hood, (on the driver's side)

This indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer fuctioning correctly. The EVAP system consists of many parts, including (but not limited to) the gas cap, fuel lines, carbon canister, purge valve, and other hoses. The (EVAP) emission control system prevents the escape of fuel vapors from a vehicle's fuel system. Fuel vapors are routed by hoses to a charcoal canister for storage. Later, when the engine is running a purge control valve opens allowing intake vacuum to siphon the fuel vapors into the engine.
Causes:
A code P0440 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

• The gas cap is not installed or working properly
• The purge solenoid has failed
• The canister is plugged and not working properly

With a P0440 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

• Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the code, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
• Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses
• Inspect for damaged or disconnected hoses around the Evap purge solenoid
• Check and/or replace the sensor
• Check and/or replace the purge valve
• Have a professional use a smoke machine to detect leaks

I am not sure which engine you have on your 202 Grand Prix, but if you have the most common 3800 V6 this is where it should be. Look at the back of the engine compartment just to the left of the plastic master cylinder resevoir.
Here is a picture you can look at...



I hope I was able to assist you!

The fuel pump is in the fuel tank.Sit in the car.....turn on the ignition switch to run.....listen very closely to the rear of the car...or have someone kneel down by the back wheel.....you should hear a "prime cycle"......the pump running for 2 or 3 seconds if the key was off for 15 seconds before trying this.If you hear silence you most likely need a fuel pump.Before pulling the tank down....check for power on the gray wire at the fuel tank connector just ahead of the rear axle under the car.Check for power with a test light that will last for 2 to 3 seconds as you turn on the key to run.Power means you really most likely need a pump.No power means you may need a fuse or a fuel pump relay.

You didn't state what size engine you have.
The 2.2 engine----- 6.9 qts.
The 2.3 engine-----7.4 qts.
The 2.4 is 7.4 qts.
The 3.1 is 7.4 qts.
The 3.4 is 6.9 qts.
These are the capacities for refilling after being drained.

P0442:Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (small leak)
what this system does is collect and store gas fumes, it also uses vacuum to detect any fuel tank or line leaks, it has zero to do with exhaust leaks, this code is often caused by a loose gas cap or a defective gas cap, so check the gas cap and make sure it is properly secured, if it is clear the code and see if it comes back, also never fuel the car with the engine running or the key turned on, this will trigger P0442.

Hope this is the one you are looking for!
