1447 Code on 2000Q

[burgy240]

I got all my work done finally but my check engine light came back on after a day and it read as a 1447 code.

I was told that it is an OBDII code and shouldn't effect performance or engine maintenance. I hate having the light on, but I don't want to spend a butt load chasing after an ambiguous code that really doesn't matter.

Does anyone know what this may be or if I should bother with it? Thanks

Any code in an OBD II car should be well considered before dismissal. The FSM has a table of codes.

I always give Bozos with a red dash light on a wide berth on the highway. Who knows what else they have neglected? Steering llinks? Shock absorbers? Tires? Brakes pads?

That code (1447) is for evaporative emission canister and should be fixed.

Where's that thread about decorum on the Q45 board?

Decorum is good.

Cost me 300 bucks to try and learn about my 2000 Q45 AND what the codes stand for when they pop up.

Self help is better and probably more accurate.

PS: Ahhh but then if that were the case it would mean that there would be no need for this Forum hmmm, and, If THAT were the case, where, I ask, would maxnix vent his frustrations

thank you and I agree about Decorum, but I just ignore most of it.

I will look into the Evap. Canister, but if anyone can point a finger in the right direction(and not with the middle finger), it would be appreciated.

Thanks again

Anyone who wants to fly in formation with the Bozos with red dash warning lights illuminated on the highway should feel free to do so.

It won't be me, though. See ya!

The check engine light/MIL is orange.

Also, you missed the point of the previous posts. It is poor manners and bad decorum to call a member a "bozo" or any other name.

He also failed to notice that I had the code ran and diagnosed but after I just spent 1400 to do the Knocks and the O2's I thought I would WAIT to fix it if it wasn't a big deal. Hence the thread was started to determine if it was an immediate issue or one I could tackle in the near future, NOT whether I should or shouldn't fix it.

you'll have to excuse me if I didn't write the entire motive behind the question. I do intend on righting the problem, but I was more concerned with the immediate potential for harm if I did not. I was told from another source that it would not effect the car but I wanted to know from the NICO community what they knew about the code. Thanks

I'm pretty confident that it will not cause any major problems, I think its just an emission control device so the only side effect is more pollution.

That is what the mechanic told me too....He also said that it can be a pain in the a@$ to try and find out exactly why that code is coming up.

Found the culprit and fixed it... thanks all
