Jeep Repair: 2003 Jeep Wrangler Repair, jeep wrangler, jiffy lube


Question
Hi Kevin:

I just went to my local Jiffy Lube to get an emissions check for my car renewal. It didn't pass! It gave a code of PO442 EVAP Control System Leak Detected (small leak). The car light went on about 2 days ago .... the Jiffy Lube guy said it was because of this.

I always turn my gas-cap 3 to 5 times to make sure it's locked...

Can you translate into English (from Repair Shop-ese)what this means and how to fix it(hopefully cheaply)!

Thanks,
Heather

U have a vary small leak in a rubber hose some where from your gas tank up to your engine. It would be the size of a pin head .020 inch big. A visual inspection for cracked hoses most of the time will find this  if not a machine will need to be hooked up to add pressure to the system in locate the leak.I live in the Atlanta area I would be glad to look at it for u.
