Ive had my 05 tahoe for a while now. but it seems like within the past 3 weeks Ive been having issues with it. it started throwing codes a few weeks ago. first time it was a p0442. guy at autozone said to tighten the gas cap. which i did (although when i fill i always tighten till it clicks about 3-5 times.) but he cleared the code and it was all good for the rest of that tank. so i fuel up last week, and truck gets down to around 3/4 of a tank, maybe a tad lower, and my check engine light comes on again. goto autozone to check it again, this time i have the following:
p0442 2 times
p0455 1 time.
he recommended buying a new gas cap (cap which i did)
i don't know where to start. i inspected the fuel cap when i took it off, o ring was still in good shape, couldn't see any dry rot or cracking. no debris on the fuel filler neck. but something is up if the truck is sensing a small and large leak.
the printout suggested a possible vacuum leak. but the engine runs smooth as can be, no hesitation or stumbling. i checked another thread for similar issues, and i don't have problems filling the tank. i always pump with the engine off (which is a no brainer) as the guy at autozone said that could throw the code too. so this is where i ask for help from the forums. as more minds are better than one on my situation.
