Default Well, I already love it here

My first time getting to do some inspection on the new to our family friend but sort of mine because I take care of it 2002 LS430. Once concern was P0441 and P0446 codes. This stressed me a bit because I'm the "expert" who recommended the car.

I replaced the fuel cap because the OEM one on there had a crumbling o-ring but also decided to search here. I found a thread about the vacuum line to the solenoid on the back of the airbox and sure enough ours was disconnected. The rubber line was just dangling loose.

PO441 sounds like evaporative system which generally points to charcoal canister. I learned to live with mine as it was prohibitively expensive with labor and parts. Light as gone out for the last year or two. YAY!
