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. ;-]

Well, I like to believe the gas pumping professionals are highly trained,
and they know how to put the gas cap back on, as tricky as that might be.
Since these professionals are the cream of the crop, then you may have an
actual leak somewhere, or your professional missed training the day they put
gas caps on. The giant sucking sound is normal, this means that the system
is sealed, which is counter to the P0442 code.

I'd reset the codes and twist the gas cap a few clicks, and wait for the
code to pop up again.

Usually when the vapor system detects a leak, gasoline is missing
in five gallon incumbents.

yeah, I know - I was being a bit facetious too. 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.
