Re: P0442 - Evap

so how many times has this light show up? have you always had it turn off or did it turn of by itself.. have you try to replace the fuel cap yet, i recommend going to the dealer for it, i didn't like the aftermarket one..well I had that same problem and turned out to be a small valve right on top of the fuel tank which vents the fuel vapor, and if everytime you fill up and don't stop when it shuts off..pumm..bye, bye valve, next time it comes on wait a little while, then unscrew your fuel cap and then screw it back in it...this helped me turn off the "check engine light" make sure its not raining though, cuz somehow this doesn't help if its raining or too humid..BUT IF IN DOUBT GO THE MECHANIC SHOP....they can help a lot
