I have a 2003 Ford Thunderbird, and the check engine light is on. I have taken it to my local mechanic and he is telling the code states a small leak in the evap system. I took it also to my local Advance Auto Parts store and they too, verified the code PO442 as a small leak in the evap system. I have changed out the gas cap as this is the first and most common place to start but it did not solve the problem. The light can be turned off but will come back on in a few days. I have also looked on line and typed in the code and there seems to be several other parts that could be the cause of the problem. First of all I don't want to just start changing parts and second of all location of the various parts is a problem, I can't seem to find the evap canister, or the associated other parts.
The engine idles very smooth, and I haven't noticed any significant consumption of fuel.
Has anyone else had this problem with their bird? And also if anyone has a sigmatic of the location of the parts can it be posted in an answer so that I could check to see if my problem may be a cracked hose or loose hose connection.
Thank you,
