Sounds like it can be a valve stuck shut or opening wrongly, it can be related to your code. Could be the sensor opening valve wrongly as well. Air, fuel, and spark is all you need to make these things go. I think you have an air problem. Were you running hot? Have you ha any issues til this happened? loss of power before this? Smell fumes? This only happened once and CEL still on? Check air flow sensor.

Check EGR valve, if Goodguy is right.

Copied this from somewhere.

Common Problems That Trigger the P0441 Code

Missing fuel cap
Stuck open or closed purge valve
Defective or damaged fuel cap
Distorted, damaged or cracked Fuel Tank Filler Neck
Torn or punctured Evaporative system hose(s)
Defective Fuel Tank Sending Unit gasket or seal
Split or damaged Carbon Canister
Defective Evaporative Vent Valve
Defective or damaged fuel tank
