check ing.light;code P0442

hi guys I have a 04Taco 3.4L v6 with 200,000ml{aprox} prerunner 2wd.
the check Ingine light came up, with code: P0442, I bought an after market gas cap from, auto zone, cleared the code, and tested it out, but the code came back after couple days, any one else with the same issue that share some light?

 

It could be a faulty EVAP system. Do you smell gas around or near the gas tank?

 

Here is a link to a thread, hope this helps

Little, but I did, so I changed my gas cap, and cleared the code and im gonna sit and wait, if it comes back,if the leak comes back I am gonna have to do a more specific check on the evap system, to check for posible hose leak, or malfunctioning sensor

 

If I am giving you redundant information, accept my apologies in advance. The evaporative monitor is a 2 trip monitor and only runs when a certain set of conditions have been met. The engine needs to be cold and has to have sat for 8 hours, the engine coolant temperature needs to be within 10 degrees of outside air temp, the fuel tank needs to be between 1/4 and 3/4 full and this has to happen 2 times in a row. If you interrrupt this proceedure you get to start over.

 

I had the same issue and fixed it
