Toyota Repair: Car wont start


Question
I have a 2001 Lexus es300, today car started running rough then when I stopped, the car cut off and will not restart, cranks and shut back off will not run even with foot on gas, I put OBD on it and got codes P0420, P0440, P0441, and P0446. Any help would be appreciated

Answer
The P0420 is for a catalytic malfunction, the others are for a large leak at the fuel evap recovery system they may be related to the no start condition, it's possible that the evap/charcoal canister has become saturated with fuel and is dumping it back into the intake system. Remove the vapor hose from the line coming from the rear, this hose has a green valve on it, check to see if any fuel is drawn into the hose. The evap canister is at the rear in front of the gas tank, check for any signs of the canister externally leaking.  The P0420 code can be caused by an overly rich air fuel mixture.
