I got a little problem with Elantra (RD) 1999 2.0L
My check engine light came on and I started wondering what it was that was going on.
I took it in to the local garage and was charged $35. To let me know that I don’t know how to put a gas cap back on properly.
That just got me so upset, seeing that back in the 70’S I worked as an apprentice mechanic and today because of technology these mechanics think that they got you by you know where.
So I went and bought an OBD-II CODE READER and it gave me a code P0441.
Know as far as my search goes I don’t think that the code had anything to do with a leaking system.
Actually that code P0441 lets me know that I must check the PURGE CONTROL VALVE.
Well when I checked this valve for myself I saw that it was defective by blowing into it and there was no resistance.

My big question is “What Is the normal cost of this valve” ?

My HYUNDAI dealer is asking $107 for this, I read that others paid $35 Is this a rip-off?

I went to a scrap yard yesturday and found two that where no good went 40 miles for this, at the price of gas maybe i'd be better to by it from the dealer.

Is this just the part that plugs into the top of your engine and runs to your intake? If so go to autozone and they are like 5 dollars..
PCV Valve
