Not me! I enjoy spending $65, then sitting around for an hour and having to explain that my K&N set up has a CARB exemption so they can smog my car!

Tell me about it... I've paid registration on my Jeep twice and gone through at least half a dozen temporary registration papers, who knows how much money to find out all I "should" need to do is put on smaller tires and run the Jeep for a good half hour before I take it in for smog testing....

Whats the problem? It seems the TJs pass smog pretty easily?
El Dorado County doesn't require a roll out test, so that may help..

I had a dead battery.
I recharged it but when I took it in I hadn't driven long/far enough for the OBD II Low emission monitors to all chime in that everything was good.
So I went to drive it around and then the check-engine light came on, and now I have (once again) the dreaded P0422 http://www.obd-codes.com/p0442 evap coded.
I borrowed a code reader and reset the code and need to drive it long enough for the monitors to report all is well, and hopefully the evap code will not come back before that.
I've had an intermittent problem with this, but it was well behaved for a while.
I don't think it is the cap as I just replaced it a year ago.

Oh, emissions were zero across the board on the test

Yes! I won a bet that my 00 jeep's emmissions were lower than one of my employees' 01 Subaru forester! Her car has a 4-cyl, and still lost!

Ya, it puts me in a bad mood 👿 My smog checks come on both of my vehicles 1 week apart from each other, talk about dropping some cash...

Still no joy on the smog test.
I reset the evap code a few weeks ago, but one monitor still shows incomplete...
I'm tempted to take it to the dealer but I think they will complain about my skid.
I found a good description of what's going on with the code.

Mine's been getting a P0442 every now and then too. It seems like it only happens when I get down to 1/4 tank of fuel, but not every time. I've replaced the gas cap with both aftermarket and factory caps and it still happens.

if you disconnect the battery for a minute, then reconnect it will reset the engine light. if the light stays off for over a 100 miles then it was only a minor issue, if it comes back on, then it's time to get it checked out... 😡

The MIL lamp is not lit.
there are no codes (right now)
the problem is the evap monitor has not run long enough, and from what I read may not run during hot weather.
Even with no codes, on an OBD II smogged engine, you won't pass if the monitors have not reported they are done with all their tests.
I HATE SMOG CHECKS

Now you've done it Dan! 😈 You just had to start talking about OBD2 codes didn't you!?!? On my way to work this morning my CEL came on again. I'm sure its the elusive P0442 again.
