My kid's 2003 350Z decided to sputter and die yesterday. Trailered it to the house and ran a diagnostic check with my Autel 5850 computer. I am pulling up a P0442 code. That's supposedly code for a "small" EVAP leak. Well, can't be too "small" as the car will crank but not start. Researching further, might be the canister, might be a purge valve (a lot of yahoos state it's the gas cap). But, it happened suddenly and the car won't start. Seems more like a lack of fuel to the engine.
Any 350Zowners have experience with this or $0.02 before I start chasing my tail or buying parts tht I don't need?
BTW, I looked at a couple 350Z forums + general internet. Absolutely worthless regarding the symptoms and code that I posted.
Thanks in advance for any input friends.
