Question about 1997 Ford Taurus
How do i find out what this code means? Also how do I stop the "service engine soon light from staying on?
Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0442 indicates that a fuel
vapor leak has been detected [as small as 0.10 cm (0.04 inch)] in the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) system.
Note: Prior to performing the following diagnosis inspect the Canister
Vent Solenoid (CV) for contamination. A situation may exist where contamination
holds open the Canister Vent (CV) solenoid enough to set DTC P0442 and also
plugs the port to atmosphere enough to keep system from being vented quickly.

I have a 99 Buick Regal.P0442, What a headache! I just got back from the shop. Had an (evap) cannister installed along with a fuel filler line, bought new gas cap, new vaccum harness. And still #@#@#%#$$ CES light is on. I stopped by a dealer and purchased a vent solonoid which I will be installing my self. My last resolve will be to take it to a car dealer for problem.
trying to get stop engine light to shut off
check engine light comes on and the code emissions auxzilary control what does this mean.
