check engine light
Thursday, March 05, 2009 9:30 PM
Well i have a check engine light. The code is P0442. Its for defective/loos fuel cap, evap canister or hose cracked, purge or vent solenoind, vacuum leak. I had the same code around 2 months ago, and changed the fuel cap, that didnt do it so i took it to a dealer and had it fixed. What could it be? I always make sure to tighten the fuel cap when i fill up. Is there anything anyone has found to go wrong with the 2200 engines. The car is a 2002 cavalier with the 2200 engine and 5 speed.
