That is the code for the fuel temp sensor. The sensor is located on the fuel pump and it is available seperately. You have to remove the fuel pump to get to it.

What are the probable causes of DTC P0440?

Code 440 is for a general failure of the EVAP system which is the vent system for the gas tank.
The engine computer checks the system every few minutes and if it detects a leak the check engine light comes on. The light tells the driver there is a problem and to get it checked out.
You would need a shop manual to get all of the testing procedures for the system and you would need to check for leaks.

Question about 2005 Mercury Monterey 1 Answer Check engine light is on code is P0180 Are repairs expensive?

code p 0180 refers to fuel temperature sensor A--circuit malfunction====causes wiring---fuel temperature sensor---ECM
it will most likely be the fuel temp sensor so call the dealer spares to get a price of that part ,then contact a reputable spares shop and see if there is a generic sensor that would be cheaper
the cost to fit will depend on the degree of difficulty and the shop doing the job

Engine light on but the garage said no codes recorded

Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on. At least there is 'FREEZE-FRAME' data stored and the associated DTC.
