    evap system leak. CHECK your gas gap make sure it is sealing properly (p0442) is also known as the gas cap code

    CHECK your coil pack for cracks. I had a misfire on cyl 1 (P0301) just yesterday looked at the coil pack and it was cracked 30$ from the wreckers for a whole setup incl. delco plugs 30 min to replace and the problem was fixed (cyl 1 plug was fowled)

    Good luck

    its a certain part in the intake manifold that needs to be replaced or adjusted.

    not sure wat its called on ur car.

    but its either called the

    EGR valve.

    or

    idle air control valve.

    it is adjust with a flat head and requires no money to fix.

    usually located under the throttle body.

    if you havent done this before its impossible to know what im talking about.

    a mechanic will do this for about 100 bucks i think. even though its 1 minutes worth of work.

    Good luck. my mechanic showed me where mine was. i hope urs does too .
