Dodge Repair: 2002 Intrepid codes, solenoid pack, purge solenoid


Question
Hi Kevin:

My check engine light came on a couple days ago.  I haven't noticed any symptoms yet, but my low end code reader came back with codes P0441, P0700 and P0871.  Since two of these seem to be transmission related, I am thinking of taking the car to a transmission shop to have it checked.  I am just wondering if the code combination suggests anything in particular?  It is good to have some idea of what the problem might be before taking the car in for repair.  This is a 2002 Intrepid ES (3.5 liter) in good shape, but I don't want to spend a huge amount on it due to the age.  Also, any ideas of good repair shops in the St. Paul, MN or the north east suburbs?

p700 general code for trans means nothing  P0871-OD PRESSURE SWITCH SENSE CIRCUIT
