Hey, Other Bob!

<snip> It may be that the tstat is partially stuck open, just enough
 for the computer to flag that the coolant isn't reaching a certain
 temp. within a given time i.e. the temp. gets there but not fast
 enough for the computer.<snip>

The first MIL came w/i 1/2 mile of my driveway. The temp outside was in the
30s. I drove all winter in the teens & 20s & got no MIL, even tho I drove
2 - 3 miles before the temp gage even moved

<snip> The P0442 is for a small leak in the EVAP system...
 If a smoke machine isn't available, then a propane cylinder and an audible
 A/C leak tester can be used. Not much help for us common peons :-(<snip>

Will this work for us CPs?
