Hello,
The check engine light just recently turned on for troubleshoot code, P0442, which is a slow vacuum leak. I'm not getting enough gas to engine bank 1&2. What is a common occurrence on this vehicle for a leak, or how may I go about trying to find it?
 






P0442 is small evap leak. Nothing to do with not getting enough fuel or a vacuum leak.

Most common is vent solenoid.
 






I found the leak. Crack in the plastic housing of the vacuum lines, both lines. Can't find a place that sells the lines.

RoyalLewis -

Welcome to the forum!

Say man - take a couple of good CLEAR pics and post them so we get a good idea of what your're talking about - pics are usually worth 1,000 words.

* Maybe a perspective pic so we know where these problem "lines" are located in relation to other components on your Ex.

* a good close-up pic clearly showing the damage.

Who knows - those 2 pics may help us help you ;)

PS - is your engine a 4.0 Liter SOHC or OHV engine?
