Possible causes are these so you need to get the vehicle top a competent mechanic to locate the cause in your case.............
- Faulty Evaporative Emission System Pressure Sensor
- Evaporative Emission System Pressure sensor harness is open or shorted
- Evaporative Emission System Pressure sensor circuit has a poor electrical connection
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)

SOURCE: check engine light on;engine codes p0420 and p0773

I looked up the codes you posted.
P0420 is showing a bad oxygen sensor on bank #1, the one down by the catalytic converter.
P0773 is an electrical problem with the shift solenoid E.
A bad oxygen sensor would cause lower fuel milage.

SOURCE: Check engine light is on...

I am not going to lie, I came across this in another forum a while back and I would love to retype it and interpret it here but it is too much. I looked at it and verified that the information here is information that could be found through my scan tools so here it is!

P0440
The fuel tankmag-glass_10x10.gif pressure is atmospheric pressure after the vehicle is driven for 20 min (2 trip detection logic).

Possible Problems
Fuel tank cap incorrectly installed <= Most common
Fuel tank cap cracked or damaged (Toyota part only)
Bad vapor pressure sensor/circuit
Vacuum hose cracked, holed, blocked, damaged or disconnected 
Hose or tube cracked, holed, damaged, or loose
Fuel tank/filler neck cracked, holed, or damaged
Charcoal canister cracked, holed, or damaged (collision)

In above description, check hoses between vapor pressur sensor and VSV for vapor pressure sensor and charcoal canister. Also, hose between charcoal canister and fuel tank.

SOURCE: i have 2000 chevy impala 3.4 engine i have check

This indicates a fuel vapor leak in the EVAP control system. It means a very small leak has been detected. In fact, the leak can be from a hole as small as 0.04" in diameter. 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.
code P0442 most likely means one or more of the following has happened:

  • A loose or improperly affixed gas cap
  • A non-conforming gas cap (i.e. not factory/original brand)
  • A small leak/hole in a fuel vapor hose/tube
  • Other small leak in EVAP system
  • Faulty vent o-ring seal
With a P0442, the most common repair is to:
  • Remove and reinstall the gas cap, clear the codes, and drive for a day and see if the codes come back.
  • Otherwise, replace the gas cap, or
  • Inspect the EVAP system for cuts/holes in tubes/hoses

SOURCE: Check engine light is on took to auto zone they

Hello there:
P1167 and P1166 codes relate to the primary O2 sensor heater malfunction.
there are two different O2 sensors, a "universal" sensor from Autozone and a supposedly OEM sensor from O'Reilly's. Both of them may cause the car to throw a p1166 or P1167 code and run rough. so i highly recommend getting a O2 sensor from Honda, and this will fix the problem .
It turns out that none of the aftermarket probes from Bosch or Denso will work on a ULEV (F23A4) 4 cyl. engine. Honda had different part number probes for the normal VTEC 4 cyl. and the ULEV Vtec engine and the probes look different and have different length cables. The computers at O'Reilly's, Autozone, or NAPA made no distinction between these two engine types.

Last week my check engine light came on Auto zone said it was mass air flow sensor the next day my car would not stay running like it was running out of gas

So you replaced the sensor and now the light is back on, right? Have you checked the code again to make sure it's still the MAF sensor code? If so, you've got a connector or wiring harness issue.

I have a 2002 Chevy Impala, my gas gauge was acting all screwy so I purchased a new fuel pump. I paid a "mechanic" to put the new pump in, well he didn't know that you could go through the...

you can put the pipes on the wrong way but the pressure would popped something some were as it is not a pressured line its just a return line. also it would back feed as there is a none return on the intake line. there were test's done on a few common makes of cars just to see what would happen if this was done. and it turn's out on a old engine there was no problems engine would run but over time the engine would fail as the pump was sucking instead of pumping, now it was a different story for egr engines as it would pump fuel out of the exhaust engine would run but it was ruff.and as the egr would get to temp it would catch fire. so on injection engines it was made clear witch way the fuel lines are some models have a 8mm line for the fuel line to pump and a 10mm line on the return. but as the pipes get older they stretch and can be mistaken so you would need to look to see witch line the filter is on to pump out, now this was ok doing it this way but to save money in making the car they used unfit parts that fit other cars and other models. so now the pump out are the same size and a part of the pipe goes to a joint where it changes from 10mm down to 8mm intake line. so would check to see witch line is on what from the pump.

Car won't start - repeatedly clicks when I try to crank

The first issue is the clicking response. That always means the starter isn't getting the voltage it needs which usually means a dead battery. If the battery is good under load testing then it's either the voltage regulator or a bad ground connection. The ground wire may have corroded so check that first and the battery connections. The ground wire bolts to the block. I recommend the you jump start the car after you find the problem. Now go to an auto parts store that will test your ignition system: alternator, battery, etc. while running. O'Reilly does it in MI. The car is old so it may need spark plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc. Candidly, it may be time to take it to a good mechanic.

I have a 1996 Chevy Blazer 6 cylinder 4.3 Vortex engine. The check engine light has been on for a few weeks but it was running just fine. Until all of a sudden it wouldn't start last night. I had...

My first thought would be: If you repaired an emissions hose, take the car back to Auto Zone (or another parts supplier) and let them tell you what code comes up now. You eliminated one problem, now you have to find another.
I wouldn't do a fuel pump without more information.

Check engine light is on took it to auto zone they said it was my egr valve and i replaced it and check engine light still on........ is it any other sensor that, the egr could have trigger

The check engine light will not go out on its own until usually after 20 or so starts.You need to back to Auto zone and have them hook up the analyzer again and clear the codes (they will do this for free). If the problem was your EGR valve, the light will then go out.

The car keeps jumping gears sometimes and air gets in the pistons. service engine light only comes on randomly. i went to autozone for the code scanning and nothing showed up twice. took it to mechanic...

auto zone can only help you when the check engine light is "on" SUGGEST THAT YOU HAVE IT CODE READ AT AUTO ZONE THE NEXT TIME THE LIGHTS ON,WHEN IT DOES COME ON,LEAVE IT RUNNING THEN when you have someone with you,leave the car running,go inside auto zone and get them to come out and code read it while the lights on.the only way they can read it is if the check engine light is on. i understand that you have a new motor, you may have a bad idle control sensor. that jumps out at me. the silver canister on top of your engine that has only 2 screws holding it to the engine and has an electrical plug in. does the engine die after you start it sometimes? when you're at a light does it not want to take fuel when you press on the gas pedal? does the engine die sometimes for no apparent reason when it"s setting still? if any of these signs are correct,then a bad idle control sensor is suspect.if not that,then you may have a clogging or clogged fuel injector.if you suspect that,then i suggest adding lucas fuel injector cleaner to your gas tank. this stuff works great for unclogging fuel injectors.you can find it for around $5.00 at auto zone,just add it to your fuel tank.run the engine and you will see a difference after the 1st 15 miles. no more missing or sputtering at stop lights or stop signs. thank you for choosing fixya.com
