Re: Engine Code P 0442
Thanks folks. I went and re affixed the gas cap and I'll take it out for a
run later, likely tomorrow, and then recheck the codes. When I opened it up, it made a big old sucking sound. I don't know if this is normal tho (here in NJ we are not allowed to pump our own gas, thank the gods, the hazardous material that it is). The real reason that I will take it for a run later is it is now drying out from being soaked from today's rainpour. I thought that I could get away with just the bikini top - LOL on me. Actually, I was fine with my doors put back on, but that gap between the roll bar and the door was the funnel point for all of the rain from the top and I ended up with 3 inches of water on the passenger side when I got home (mostly left turns in the beginning dumped most of it that way). I was dry tho. Seats all wet, the way back all soaked from shoving the soaked over-cover in there. I have come to realize that that over-cover is water resistant, not water proof [grin]. Therefore, I want to let it sit in the sun tomorrow for a bit. ;-] Tomes "Jeff Strickland" <spamcatcher@yahoo.net> wrote in message news:X_qdnUo4PL_DUVPfRVn-jA@ez2.net... > Here is the OBD Website, > > http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/index.php > > > > > > "Tomes" <XXtomanml@earthlink.net> wrote in message > news:Mezze.6555$aY6.724@newsread1.news.atl.earthli nk.net... > > Hi folks, > > I have my first engine code at about 65000 miles: P 0442. 2 questions if > > you please: > > > > 1) What is this? > > > > 2) What do I need to do about it? > > > > Thanks very much, > > Tomes > > 2002 TJ 4.0, no AC > > > > > > |

I do like not having to do it however - it keeps me from getting smelly and in the vehicle on bad weather days. Once I run the Jeep around for a bit later on I will report back. Thanks again folks.
