    Your message has disappeared into cyberspace so I'll just have to
    start a new one. That P0442 code is an enhanced evap emissions
    code(small leak.) Extremely hard to find sometimes. The biggest
    culprit is usually a defective gas cap but if it's not that it could
    be anywhere. By small leak they mean real small-The spec then was that
    the system had to detect a leak equivalent to a hole 0.04 inch in
    diameter. I would have thought that the dealer would have checked the
    cap first but you never know. It could be lots of things-A nick in any
    o-ring in the system, faulty vent valve seal, faulty tank pressure
    sensor seal, the list goes on. I don't live in a place where we have
    emissions testing but I wouldn't imagine that they would pass a
    vehicle with an emissions code. Good luck
