Code PO442

[Crusher]

Took the car out this morning for a drive and to pick up a few things from the store....After picking up the items I go to start the car up and the dreaded Check Engine light comes on .....Came home right away and hooked up my scanner and code PO442(evaporative leak)...Checked my gas cap and wouldnt you know it...It was loose ..lol

I filled up with gas a few days back I could have sworn I tightened it...I guess not tight enough .......Erased the code with the scanner re-tightned the cap and all is well

Nice to know you have the 'bibles', Crusher. Excellent reference material.
You get discs or hard copy and how expensive?

I have the hard copy..Looked up the code in the manual and the diagnosis said to first check your gas cap

This is the one I have...It was around $195
