So I go out to my car and it will not start, now i have power because my light and sterio all work, but here is the thing... with the key in the ignition and it is turned to acc position, I press on the break and I hear a clicking noice down by the shifter. So I take apart the center counsel and with the key still in acc mode I press the break again and notice the thing clicking is the white plastic piece that keeps the shifter from going out of park. SO I hold the white plastic piece down and the car starts. Great! A few days later the same thing happens?? So I take it apart again and I repeat the same thing I did before thinking it would work, but it didnt. So I see a little switch with a metal tab or lever that is right next to the white plastic piece that I held down earlier (now this switch is on the driver side of the shifter). Now this switch with a metal tab works with the shifter and I "think" the ignition becacause when I push this metal tab upward I hear a clicking sound under the steering wheel. Now when I pushed the tab upward my car started up. This worked great for about 2 more times and then it finally went out on me for good. SO I buy a new switch and my car still will not work? Does any one who is still awake after reading my novel here, have any ideas on why my car will not work? My check engine light is on and it is giving out an error code of: P0440 EVAP emission system, now a guy at Advanced Auto said it is a broad error code that I have to go to a kIA dealership to pin point my problem. Does this have something to do with my car not starting? ALso the sensor on top of my intake manifold is buzzing, does this also play into my problems? I can take a picture of the switch and post it if anyone wants to look at it. Thanks in advance,

1) Fuel filler cap loose or missing.
2) Fuel filler cap o-ring missing or damaged.
3) Faulty or damaged fuel filler pipe.
4) Leaking, disconnected or plugged fuel vapor lines.
5) Fuel in lines due to faulty Rollover and/or Check Valves or stuck closed CCV.
6) Canister Close Valve (CCV) clogged, stuck open or closed.
7) Improperly installed Purge Solenoid valve (PSV).
8) PSV stuck open or closed.
9) Faulty Fuel Tank Pressure Sensor (FTPS).
10) Leaking canister or catch tank.



If any codes relating to FTPS, CCV or PSV circuits are present, do ALL REPAIRS associated with those codes before proceeding with this troubleshooting tree.

IMPORTANT!
Record all freeze frame, CID and TID data before disconnecting any connectors or clearing code(s).


STEP INSPECTION Y/N ACTION
1 Check fuel filler cap for being tightly installed, has o-ring seal installed and is in good condition. Verify cap releases pressure / vacuum at specified values (approximately 3 psi pressure and approximately 2 inches of mercury vacuum).
Are cap, o-ring and release pressures okay? YES Go to step 2.
NO Replace fuel filler cap.
2 Check fuel filler pipe for cracks, damage and o-ring seat for deformation.
Is fuel filler pipe okay? YES Go to step 3.
NO Replace fuel filler pipe.
3 Thoroughly check all fuel vapor hoses and hose clamp between:
1) Canister and fuel tank.
2) Canister and CCV.
3) Canister and PSV.
4) PSV and intake manifold.

(At this point, verify arrow on PSV is pointing towards intake manifold. If it is not, reverse installation.)
Are vapor hoses and clamps okay? YES Go to step 4.
NO Replace ALL cracked/ damaged hoses or loose clamps.
4 With ignition off connect adapter cable #K99U-2106-G17 to BOB and disconnect C211 from ECM. Connect adapter cable C211 to ECM and vehicle C211 to adapter cable. Remove gas cap and turn ignition on. Measure FTPS output voltage at BOB terminal 76 (2.5v +/- 0.32v).
Is FTPS base voltage within specs? YES Go to step 5.
NO Replace FTPS and go to step 5.
5 Turn ignition off and disconnect hose leading from PSV to intake manifold at PSV. Per diagram “B”, draw a vacuum at nipple “B” with a mityvac and verify PSV holds vacuum. Turn ignition on and jumper a wire from BOB pin 36 to GND (should here a faint click from PSV). Vacuum should bleed off. Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure PSV reliability.
Is PSV working properly? YES Go to step 6.
NO Replace PSV and then go to step 6.
6 Turn ignition off and disconnect hose connecting CCV to canister at canister. Per diagram “C”, blow air into hose removed from canister and verify air escapes from “B”. Turn ignition on and jumper a wire to GND at BOB pin 18 (CCV valve should click). Blow air into hose and verify air does not escape from port “B”. Repeat this procedure 4 or 5 times to ensure CCV reliability.
Is CCV working properly? YES Go to step 7.
NO Replace CCV. If CCV was stuck closed, inspect all lines and canister for liquid fuel. Replace any contaminated components and blow out lines then go to step 7.






STEP INSPECTION Y/N ACTION
7 Remove Check Valve from vehicle and verify part number “K01G” is stamped on valve. Visually inspect for any signs of cracking around mounting boss or in body. Blow air through both nipples, verify valve is open (with slight restriction) in both directions and diaphragm “pops” open when blown in direction of arrow on valve.
Does check valve pass inspection? YES Go to step 8.
NO Replace check valve and then go to step 8.
8 Remove Rollover Valve from vehicle and (per diagram “C”) verify air passes only in direction of arrows in diagram (not arrows on side of valve) when tilted more than 40° From vertical in any direction and in both directions with valve in right-side-up position.
Does rollover valve pass inspection? YES Go to step 9.
NO Replace rollover valve and then go to step 9.
9 Return vehicle to original condition (but leave BOB connected). Per diagram “D”, insert “T” in evap hose between PSV and Canister. Make sure fuel filler cap is installed and tight. Attach a jumper wire from GND to BOB terminal 18 (CCV ground control). Attach ground lead of digital voltmeter to GND and positive lead to BOB terminal 76 (FTPS output voltage). Turn ignition on (engine off) and, using pressure port on Mityvac or similar tool, apply pressure to system through “T” until FTPS output voltage is approximately 4v. Clamp off hose to Mityvac and monitor FTPS output voltage for 1 minute. After 1 minute FTPS output voltage should not drop more than 0.1v.
Did voltage drop more than 0.1v?


If voltage does not increase as described, check:
1) Remove gas cap and verify release of pressure. If release of pressure is verified, replace FTPS. If no release of pressure is noticed, proceed to check #2.
2) Plugged vapor lines between PSV and fuel tank.
3) Fuel in canister due to stuck closed CCV (refer to step 6). Repair as necessary.


YES Remove clamp from hose to Mityvac, pressurize system to a maximum of 2 psi and clamp off system again. With system sealed and pressurized, check for leaks with a R134-A leak detector (be sure to check hoses at rollover/check valves, canister and gasket at Tank Unit). Repair as necessary and then redo step 9.
NO Go to step 10.
10 Remove jumper wire to GND from BOB pin 18. Voltage at BOB pin 76 should drop (within approximately 15 seconds) to within 10% of base voltage measured in step 4.
Did voltage drop as described? YES Go to step 11.
NO Recheck evap lines, check/rollover valves, CCV and canister for obstructions. Repair as necessary and redo steps 9 and 10.
11 Repeat steps 9 and 10. However, instead of removing jumper wire to GND from BOB pin 18, jumper a wire from BOB pin 36 (PSV ground control) to GND and monitor FTPS output voltage at BOB pin 76. Again, output voltage should drop but a little slower as PSV has a small controlling orifice in it (voltage should drop to within 10% of base voltage within approximately 30 seconds).
Did voltage drop as described? YES Go to step 12.
NO Recheck PSV operation and canister for obstructions. Repair as necessary and redo step 11.
12 Clear codes and return vehicle to original condition. Verify any repairs by driving vehicle per following Readiness Drive Cycle. Make sure ECT is below 150 degrees F before starting drive cycle. After completing test, check for any pending codes (refer to section 3 of the KIA Data Pro Generic OBD-II Program Card reference manual).
