The engine light continues to come on, with the code for emissions leak. changed the gas-cap, put in Catalatic Converter Cleaner, but did not get rid of the constant code. have been shutting the code off with help from the parts store. The car only has 31,000 miles, the system shouldn't be throwing an emissions code.
Check engine light comes on and has a P0442. I can smell fuel after light comes on mostly and lower speeds (under 10 mph) and always at a stop. When I fill up it is a definite under both circumstances. I was pointed to a new gas cap. I've replaced 2 and the code continues to return and the smell of fuel is outstanding and seems unsafe for the potency.
