CEL 440 - cause? 850 1996

1996 855T, 93,500 miles.

I pulled and cleared a CEL today (thanks Autozone). The code was 440, "Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction." Wondering what may have caused it; in August 2004 I replaced the fuel evap canister, which had thrown that code in the past. Thanks.

    Look on the inside of the radiator shroud for a small control unit with two rigid vacuum lines running to it ( think one is purple and one is white) with rubber elbows on the ends and an electrical connector. Slide it out and take a look at the elbows for dry rot and remove the connector and clean the contacts. Mine kept setting this code until I shot in some contact cleaner after which the light just went off on its own. Make sure your gas cap is tight and that the rubber seal isn't falling apart. Hope this helps
