first move, make sure your gas cap is good, then make sure its on tight

How do I know it is good? Should I clear the code?

just look at it. if you think something doesnt look right on it, then get a new one.
if i were you, i would just make sure its tight, clear the code, and wait and see if it comes back

It also could be a problem with the fuel pump assemble o-ring. Since he has replace the fuel pump it is possible that the o-ring did not seal properly.

How would I know if the o-ring didn't seal properly??Would I have to pull the pump again?? The car runs fine and does nothesitate at all, maybe I will just replace the cap at this point!?!

The fuel tank vent valve is located right next to the fuel pump module. I would take the access cover back off and make sure you didn't accidentally disconnect the wiring harness or the purge hose from the vent valve while changing out the pump.

I just double checked the wire harness, everything looks fine, I also looked for the purge hose ; I am not sure which one that is?? Could you give me some direction?BTW the pump assembly came with a new o-ring and it was used(and greased); the pump went in good and tight.

My 00' GP SE with 125,000+km 3.1L V6 had pull up that exact same code P0440. Where is the air solenoid? Any pic or diagram to fix the problem?

i just filled up and left a good amount of fuel on the ground ..... this would tell me the o-ring did not seal properly. I will be removing and replacing the o-ring and snap ring, maybe it got twisted when i installed it??. thanks for all the help!
