This paper deals with the viscoelastic boundary layer flow past a plate. Constitutive assumptions of the FENE‐P model are taken into account. The pressure gradient is taken as non‐zero. The series solution of the non‐linear problem modelled in ( Appl. Math. Lett. 2007; 20 :1211–1215) is developed by a homotopy analysis method (HAM). Numerical solution of the skin friction coefficient is also computed. Further a comparison between the numerical and HAM solutions is provided. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
