Usually this is a loose or improperly sealing gas cap. The code will clear out (iirc requires 3 starts from cold) or get your local autoparts store to clear it for you. Gas cap is easiest and cheapest thing to try. It can also be a leaky evaporation canister, leaky vacuum hose, leaky fuel filler hose...etc. basically as part of the test cycle it checks to see if the evaporation system holds a specific vacuum for a specific time. Yours failed the test.

2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 4.3L V6 was running fine and then the O2 Sensors went out. I have since replaced them but it with start then idle really rough then die if you let off the gas

Robert, have vehicle scanned for diagnostic codes. Check for vacuum leaks and if you have not done recently give vehicle a complete tune up cap,rottor,wires,plugs,filter's,etc, including injector/throttle body cleaning. Check the attached links,instruction and guides, Good luck

There is no p0242.Are you sure it is not p0442.This would be the evaporative emission system.Has to do with the emissions.You need a scan tool and a smoke machine to test for evap.leaks.Usually the vent solenoid.This in the area of the spare tire.This is the most common problem that I have seen on the Silverados.The only other thing is the gas cap.Hope this helps.Good luck.

2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 Error Codes

P0135 is a bad 02 sensor
P0442 is a evap problem
P0449 is a vent solenoid

i would check the vent solenoid first its a 4ws fuse under the hood in the fuse box make sure you have power to it you should have power at all times the ground comes from the pcm i think if you fix this everything else will work they are all computer controled
