Perfect fix! Spot on! A1! You Rock! Hit the nail on the head! My daughter purchased a used Mazda5 and this P0442 code was present. I can tell the prior owner had tried to chase down this issue and had already replaced the gas cap. I replace it as well given the inexpensive cost, but without success. I then disconnected and tested the purge valve located next to the engine as you suggested and it tested fine (couldn't blow air through it, default position is closed), so I then thought it must be the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid (Part Number: LF3T18741) per your video which I purchased from my local Mazda dealer's parts department. Price:$ 77 w tax. It was a gamble to spend that $ not knowing if it was what was needed. I think the default position for this valve is open and it needs some other conditions to be right to make it close (like power and a refueling cycle) - so I couldn't test it in place. Thankfully I had a 1/2 impact driver and that allowed me to take off that steel cover-plate under the rear of the care reasonably easily. I used that same impact to spin off the nuts that hold the Vapor Canister in place and accidentally sheered one off one of the posts (maybe I should have sprayed it down with penetrating oil and slowly removed those small nuts by hand with a socket wrench). It's held on now with just one nut and I added a few zip ties to the surrounding metal to keep it in place. As you said, you don't get instant feedback that replacing this valve is the fix because you have to wait until you have an empty the gas tank and then refill it. When we finally had to fuel-up we noticed the error code was gone! Yay! Thank you. You shot a great video and explained the situation and repair very well. KZbin is a great place if you want to learn.

Just the did the same fix today. Hopefully the code will go away. My car looks exactly as the yours, even the color is the same. The interesting thing is that the vent valve only closes during the test. In other words, when the vent valve leaks only the evap test fails - the evap system is working normally and no gasoline evaporation is escaping to the atmosphere: only the capability of creating a vacuum to test for leaks is lost. BTW, two out of the four bolts broke when I removed the plate. UPDATE: The fix worked. Had to drive around 60 miles with tank at 3/4 to have the EVAP tests to run and pass. I also tested the old vent solenoid today when I put 12 VDC on it it closes but when I blow on it It is clear that is not closing 100%.

What sucks about changing that CV vent valve is when the mounting studs and hardware break off when trying to remove due to being very corroded then it goes from a quick swap out to a small fab project….good info though on stop fueling when the pump clicks… these vehicles are not the cars of old where you can fill to the very top with no consequences.

Hi, I've changed my purge and vent valve engine code p0442 is still goes on. When I start the car it goes on immediately and when I clear it to drive its good until i turn off the care and turn it back on. I'm stumped. Now when the p0442 code goes on almost shortly after a u0264 code goes on with the AT light. I almost feel like it goes on limp mode as a safety feature or i could be completely wrong. I do drive the Mazda 5 on manual mode. When its an auto mode the AT light jumps on with the check engine Valve. Can anyone give me some insight?
