2011 Kia Optima with engine code P0442

Question

I own a 2011 Kia Optima I've had the check engine light come on and detected a P0442 code, where exactly can I find this evaporator valve?

Answer 1

HI there

This code means there is a very small evap emissions leak. Typically, this could be a loose fuel cap so I would start there. You can also have an issue with the vent control valve, this is mounted under the car at the charcoal canister.
