Check Engine Light
2001 Ranger 4 Liter, 216,000-miles
Got a check engine warning. I downloaded the code.PO442 Evaporative Emmission Control System Leak Detected (small leak). Duhh? Anyone know where that sensor is?
I've found lately that some sensors are simply failing and need to be replaced. I would try replacing the sensor before I try finding a small leak.
I thank you for any help you provide me.

90% of the time this code is from the fuel fill cap either not being put on tight enough or the seal failing. If had it come on if it didnt get enough "clicks" and also about 5 months ago I ended up just replacing it (15$ for a ford one off amazon).

You definitely wouldn’t be the first here to throw sensors at an issue to find the sensor was doing its job.
