PO441 and misfire on accelerating
My daughter drives our 1998 VE with 160k miles on it. Recently she has had a problem when accelerating. The check engine light flashes while the motor misfires and the car really struggles to pick up speed - like a bad misfire - but once she gets up to about 50mph it runs fine, even when accelerating, and the check engine light stays on. I can sometimes stop the misfire by backing off slightly on the throttle for a second. This only seems to be an issue once the engine is at normal operating temperature.
I know the code points to an EVAP fault but was hoping the other symptom might help someone to help me find the exact fault quickly.
