Po440 is to the evaporative system as a po300 is to a misfire. Maybe that not a perfect example, but essentially it means there is a problem in the EVAP system. It may or may not be a leak, it may be a purge solenoid that is bad or intermitantly bad, may be a cannister problem, may be a gas cap not on tight or leaking. a valve may not be sealing etc. Bottom line is the system is not achieving vacuum.
