Does the engine need servicing? The service engine soon light will only comes on if there is a problem. It will not come on if the bulb is burned out. Or. If there are no issues.

code p 442 refers to evaporative emission (EVAP) system---small leak detected
it also refers to large leak detected --fuel cap off/loose === causes hose/connection,-- intake leak--EVAP canister---EVAP canister purge valve --mechanical fault --- EVAP pressure sensor

it means the engine needs to be servised it works on milage traveled

if your talking about the check engine light being on, no, it will not come on because of oil service time. you may of left something off. if the dipstick or oil cap is loose this could set a code.

two ways you can do it. First it would be best to find someone with a code reader to find out what the code is ,some times aout parts stores will check the code for you and maybe even clear it for you.otherwise unhook one of your battery cables for a little while and the check engine light will go off untill what ever set it off sets it off again note unhooking the battery will clear your radio stations

i would start by taking it to autozone and having them read the trouble codes that are in your car. they offer this service for free. You can then go ahead and fix the problems. It could just simply be that you did not put the gas cap on all the way the last time that you filled up the tank.

dont know exsacly where is but should be where gear box meets engine and it sounds like the soliniod is stuck or gone or starter could be stuck in engine if manual put in gear and rock back and forward this may help relase it

You need to have the system tested for trouble codes, Kragen auto and othes do this for free, post the trouble code back here on this thread.

that is the same as a check engine light it needs to be scanned
