Check engine light on code p0441 dodge ram 1500 my 2007 dodge ram 1500 is puttering and acting like it wants to die out can you let me know what the problem is.

2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Truck Code P0441 indicates that a part of the EVAP control system is no longer functioning 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.
EVAP emission canister purge is controlled by a valve which allows engine vacuum to pull stored fuel vapors from fuel tank into the engine to be burned, rather than be vented to atmosphere. A vacuum switch is used to detect when flow exists. If the PCM commands purge and sees that the switch is closed (indicating no detected purge flow) P0441 is set.

Symptoms :

Likely, no symptoms will be discernible to the driver, other than the illuminated Check Engine Light.

Causes :

A code P0441 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

Bad vacuum switch Broken or damaged EVAP line or canister Open in PCM purge command circuit Open or short in Voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid Faulty purge solenoid Restriction in EVAP solenoid, line or canister Corrosion or resistance in purge connector Bad PCM

Possible Solutions :

With a P0441 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try: Common Chrysler fix - Replace Leak Detection Pump / LDP Repair damaged EVAP lines or canister Repair open or short in voltage feed circuit to Purge Solenoid Repair open in PCM purge command circuit Replace purge Solenoid Replace vacuum switch Repair restriction in Evap line or canister or solenoid Repair resistance in purge connector Replace PCM

I hope this helps.

code p0441 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system--incorrect flow detected== causes--hose connections---intake leak==EVAP canister purge valve
I would start at the purge valve because if the tank is not venting properly there will be either a pressure build up which will over fuel the engine ( too rich) or the fuel pressure will be too low (vacuum in the tank not allowing the pump to keep pressure up) which will result in random misfires.

check to see if vacum line has a hole or has came loose from vacum gas ball.

I would need to know what the actual trouble code is to comment.

low fuel pressure doesn't set a fault code nor does a clogged catalytic convertor. Dodge vehicles don't have a serviceable fuel filter, but you can do a fuel volume test when the vehicle acts up.

check fuel pressure, may be fuel filter, plugged fuel line, fuel pump, or fuel pressure regulator

White exhaust smoke is from anti freeze. You have a bad head gasket

If you mean code P0441 - This Relates to Incorrect Purge Flow for Evaporative Emission System

I need more info. If possible, have the codes read. There are part stores that will read the codes for free. let me know.

cheapest thing is get new gas cap, next make sure no vacuum leaks anywhere, the you may need to replace evap purge valve. these systems are junk on all cars and will make you spend lots of money.
