hi all

just been out in my 03 hemi qc on got a p0442 code, now i know this is the evap system detecting a small leak but wanted to know how to get rid of the darn light on the dash !!!!

any help please

 

just whent thougth the same thing on my 02,turned out to be the gas cap

 

once you fix the issue, unless you have a code reader to erace the code, it will usualy go away after 5 full starts of the engine after the ECM sees the problem is gone.

 

Check the rubber hoses underneath your bed, near to the gas tank.
They connect the EVAP charcol cannister etc. You might have a creaked or split hose, due to weathering.
Mine had a long 1 inch long split.
Replaced the hoses and no more error code.
I re-set the PCM and the code dissapeared straight away.
HOpe this helps.

thanks guys

fitted a locking gas cap today and the lights gone out !

 

Hey uk guy.........you MUST get a Prinz LPG system.

At 41p a liter, it's cheap motoring my friend.
No power loss and smooth as a babys bum to drive.

so do you get some good looks and people wondering how can I get a truck like that???

 

Yeah Drew..............all the time man.
I NEVER get tired of the looks this Hemi gets.
Also, when I pass people and the Hemi's "on full chat" (English speak for on cam) with the cutouts wide open WOW !!!!! ........................it sure scares the hell out of some people ha ha ha.
