Charcoal Canister / LRA Breather Fix (1 Viewer)

P0441 usually is caused by one of the two vcv valves on top of the engine. That was my experience anyways.

Maybe my story will help you

Removal of 12.5G LRA Tank for replacement of Evap Canister - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/removal-of-12-5g-lra-tank-for-replacement-of-evap-canister.1352391/

it took longer than it should to fix due to a connector getting smashed, needs to be moved out of the way AND the hose on the Canister was not fully installed

Those were both discussed in the thread

Stuck maybe? Not sure why it stopped reappearing after a few hundred miles. Also weird how it happened. But you may very well be correct.

Do you happen to know which parts? Thinking about it, my wife’s Mini had an issue with the same part I think and it wasn’t throwing a code but it did run rough when cold (my LC doesn’t)… however MPG got better after swapping that part, so I’m kind of curious if my abysmal mileage might be related and replacing it on the LC might just become dismal mileage instead

iirc, the valve of one of the other was indeed reading as "on" via techstream diagnosis and was not activating when cycling the evap testing. Let me dig back into my orders to confirm part numbers I ordered. Update to follow...

EDIT: 25860-38010 and 25860-0s020 were the parts I replaced for my p0441 (after disconnecting and putting some LOW pressure compressed air through the one line AFTER disconnecting at the tank side to confirm line was dry). @bloc was kind enough to confirm these were the valves a while back. I don't have the thread link off hand. HTH

Thanks, if this occurs again hopefully it’ll be at home where I have my laptop and can run techstream to test it.

Just cleaned my breather and it fixed my slow fill issues. I noticed my installer used a different breather than those shown in this thread and he says they do well in all his installs. It’s from NAPA and was super easy to clean.

Glad to have found this thread - my LRA aux tank for my troopy is inbound to the US right now.

I don't have to worry about any check engine lights thank goodness, but preventing slow fills, etc will be ideal.
