hi all have just checked for error codes on my 2001 amica si this is what i came up with...
p0343 camshaft position sensor a-blank 1 circuit high input
p0444 evap emission control purge valve c open
can anyone tell me what these mean
many thanks

Sounds like your camshaft position sensor could be going bad. I'd probably get a spare and carry it around with enough tools to replace it, or just go ahead and replace it. You don't want it to go totally bad and leave you stranded.

Purge valves from this era typically go bad and make these EVAP codes. Replace this.

hi thanks for you reply, ive looked into the cam sensors and the symptons i have sugest it needs replacing.
what and where are the purge valves ? thanks

Can't say where your purge valve is, I've never seen an Amica. Mine is under the hood near the fuel filter. It's just a little plastic valve with two hoses connected and a wire. One hose goes back to the fuel tank, the other to the intake.

thanks for you help
