AutoZone problem #P0442
My check engine light came on during a trip to oklahoma for some dirt biking, so I stopped at the local auto zone out there to see what was up and the problem p0442 came up on the reciept.
Definition:
EVAP(evaporative emission system) small leak/no flow condition
Explanation:
The evaporative emission system is monitored for it's ability to hold vaccum
Probable Cause:
1-Defective or loose fuel cap
2-EVAP canister or hose cracked-not connected
3-Purge or vent solenoid defective
4-Vaccum leak at engine
Has anyone else had this problem? I just want to get rid of this light, short of breaking the bulb.

Do some searching in the forums as this one comes up a lot. Check the fuel cap and evap hoses. It could also be that the evap canister needs to be replaced. I get it every few months with my truck and I know the canister is bad. I keep resetting the code until I can get to the point where I can replace it.
