not purge valve. 95 percent of the time a code 440 is caused by a bad vent solenoid. its located at rear of truck by the canister. the vent solenoid is open to road debris and it usually sticks open causing a leak in the system. i find that if someone tells you to replace a gas cap for this code then they usually dont know what they are doing. hope this helps
