Check engine light p00442, related to fuel vapor in gasoline tank. Replaced fuel cap. It seems to be working so far, no light ever since. The temperatures have been really low this winter, so we'll have to wait for spring to come. We will see then if it's a permanent fix. 
78120 mi p00442 code again, Replaced the gazoline cap, but the code came back after a while, Watched videos on youtube. I though that the end of the gazoline pipe might be leeking just a little after ten years. It shows signs of wear, scratches, etc. I USED SOME SWIMMING POOL PUMP GASKET LUBRICANT to lube the end of the pipe taht comes in contact with the gaz cap. Almost 2 months without a code. I will lubricate the end of the pipe from time to time
