Codes p0440, p0442 have come up revealing a small leak or malfunction in my evaporative emission control system. My question is where should I get started and where do I find a diagram to assist me? Any help is truly appreciated! Also my symptoms have been a rough idle here and there but now more consistently, does this all add up? Thanks again!!

you can go back to the site here and look on i think how does it work and look how that is and it sill give a diagram that is generic. but with the mileage on your vehicle check for a bad vacuum line around the engine then you'll have to find the evap cannister which is usually under the car and see if your evap valve is sticking. As far as a manual you can either buy one at an auto parts store or on the site they have one for 3 days for $10...
