I pulled a code today out of my 4.6 bird not my mark but it was a p1443 I gt a lil info but didnt know if anyone could some it up for me as in wat it means exactly and what is goin on in that cars brain, Dont know if its related but the car will kind of stutter when i get on it and my fuel gauge is rather tempermental, as in changing its opinion on the amount of fuel its holding, anything is much apriciated, i just got the car yesterday

P1443 - Evaporative Emission Control System - Vacuum System - Purge Control Solenoid or Purge Control Valve fault

in other words, probably a vacuum leak
