here is the best website for diagnosing codes----They also include simple things to look for as well as technical stuff----

PS: I suspect a bad gas cap----Never guy an aftermarket gas gap as they are most often multi-fit and won't seal----Get a GM replacement from the dealer---

There is a fat black rubber O ring inside the fuel cap. That O ring gets old and CRACKS. That is what usually causes that DTC. Look at the O ring seal and if its cracked, just get a new one.
I agree.. There are other thing that can cause that DTC but start there and report what you find.

You didn't say what year your car is. There was a fuel system problem on some 2004's that can cause P0442. There was a service bulletin and an extended warranty issued to cover those who experienced the failure.
These are the VIN#s included affected 45110258 to 45125500

Year: 2004
Manufacturer: GENERAL MOTORS LLC
Service Bulletin Number: TB-10150Date of Bulletin: AUG 01, 2010
NHTSA Item Number: 10034684
