Trying to get rid of P0442 - small Evap Leak

[tvlunn]

Just in case you're curious, the Ford EVAP drive cycle is as follows:

> Auto will have to soak or engine off for 6 hour minimum
> Fuel Level must be between 15 and 85%
> Cruise at 72 to 104 Km/h (45 to 65 MPH) for 10 minutes - avoid sharp turns and hills

These are the basics to initiate EVAP test

Thank you, I intend to do a short toll run tomorrow morning, and make a beeline to my shop. Will see what the free test says. I hope it's a go.

Again, thanks for the info - I'm at 50% tank right now. I'll even manually run it through the gears so as to not agitate the tank, which I believe part of the above measures is for (turns/hills).
