I'm at ladipo market atm. He's about running a check on the mounts again
One funny thing about engine mount is when one cuts there is serious tendency for the others to go bad. So my advice is to have all your engine mounts properly checked. Secondly, there is no such thing as toks engine mount. More than 80% are Naija used being refurbished in a way best known to the "barander" boys grin grin. Best bet have a brand new one installed. Bought a toks and never lasted for 1week. Also if your check engine light is illuminated run a scan and make sure you have scan results

Signs of Parvo virus. You better take this treatment by the horn by yourself. Most Naija vets are quack. Start the treatment yourself. If care is not taken he is gonna die . Parco virus has got no chill. What's the condition of his feaces. Extremely watery or solid. Read more about Parco virus. If it is. Stop all feeding for now and administer glucose cos he would be so dehydrated

Vacuum hose with a service port connected down to the canister box through which gas is being transported to inlet manifold plenum. The service port is a trouble shoot area that has a valve inside through which your smoke detecting machine can be plugged

I have this error code P0441.

I don't fill up to the brim tho. Half tank is what I do. I've changed fuel pump though I got to know its not probably the culprit since its still pulling same code

Its a 2003 Toyota Avalon.

What else can be the culprit, pls?
A simple start from your fuel tank cover could just be a culprit. Pull out your tank cover inspect the rubber seal for breakage. If all is fine you need to check for leaks around vacuum line. If no leak test your purge control valve solenoid (vsv- vacuum switching valve) and make sure it works fine.

Other trouble areas could be

1) charcoal canister

2) cracked fuel tank

3) vapour pressure sensor which is situated right on top of the fuel tank used to measure vapour pressure from fuel. If you cannot access right from underneath your sit then your tank needs to come down. Who never can tell rodents might just have fisted on its wiring

In a case where you do not see a visible leak,.a.smoke detector machine can be used to trace leak.

I hope this helps. A pix of a.charcoal canister has been earlier uploaded. Yours should be situated close to underneath your fuel tank

Another praticising culture is running your engine and at the same time refueling your cars. That's not a good practice for a modern day vehicle. This can also damage the canister box

Car Talk › let's discuss Tank Ventilation System by mayor2013(op):
The prevailing pressure in the tank forces hydrocarbon gases into the activated charcoal canister. The molecules of fuel are trapped in the canister material. The tank ventilation valve is activated by the engine control unit when vacuum is present in the intake manifold. The vacuum and regenerated air work together in order to force the canister of fuel molecules and reintroduce them to the combustion process.

Have you ever had the. Following fault errors when you run a scan on your car.

P0441 - evaporative emission control system incorrect purge flow

P0442- evaporative emission control system leak detected (small leak)

P0446- evaporative emission control system vent control malfunction.

The above fault error also contributes to high fuel consumption. Car owners have always wanted to know why their cars consume so much fuel. Here is just a tip. Gas accumulated from fuel stored in tank can be lost through a leak from the canister box or its vacuum lines. I would be uploading a life pix of some of these items that comprises the tank ventilation system.

From my experience on the field most car owners over fill their fuel tank to the point where fuel Starts to gush out of the fuel tank despite the check valves actually playing its function stating when to stop adding more fuel when refilling the tank. The adverse effect of this results to a "bad charcoal canister"

Thanks . This is live stream data. How long or what's required for complete test ?
Make sure you have your car running rather than put it on first ignition. Also make sure you have considerable amount of fuel in your ride.
