I just had my kia checked to find out a reason for the check engine light coming on. I do have a problem with starting the car immediately after I fill it up with gas. The troubleshooting code is P0441 and it says it is an emission system incorrect purge flow with probable cause of 1. Faulty purge control solenoid, 2. faulty vent solenoid, or 3. Blocked vapor canister. How do I figure out which of these is the problem and fix it the cheapest. Thanks!

This code is often just the gas filler cap is faulty. You could try replacing that for just a few dollars.

Give the computer a few drive cycles to clear the code. As for the hard start, does it do this only when you fill it with gas or anytime you cut it off and restart it???
