Engine Code 1441 "Purge During Non Purge Conditions"

I am getting that code. Does anyone know what I could replace to fix that? I'd read it could be the purge valve or the carbon canister itself, but nothing solid I've been able to find?

I once had that code on my old 96 camaro with the 3.8l. I had it scanned about three times and it gave me two different codes; 0440 and 1440.

I replaced a few different things, then I finally saw the problem...
My old thread, post #4.

I'll try to find a picture of what I did to solve the problem. It was an easy fix. At least, it was easy in my case.

I replaced the plastic line with a 3/8" fuel hose. I circled the replacement line in the attached picture.

If that's not the problem, post it here. Before I found that broken line, I put in a new canister, fuel tank pressure valve, one (1) O2 sensor and purge valve.

Thanks bud. I'll check the line first.

Mine is 1996, so I'm not sure if that's why, but I don't have one of those hoses connected to my throttle body.

Is there any hose at all connected?

That hose goes from the side of the throttle body to the purge valve -behind the alternator. If yours isnt there, connect them with a new hose, drive the car for a bit and see if the ses light goes out.
