I’m new here. New to land rovers in general. I just bought a used 2010 Range Rover HSE Lux (120k miles) and I’m jumping into tuning it up. I have some minimal experience but try my best in research and maintenance whenever possible, so I’m gonna be full of questions. If you see another thread I have missed that can help, definitely lmk. I’ve looked over quite a few.
I have the fuel cap message popping up and the code came (p0442) shortly after. I got a new gas cap. Still getting the code (going to pull a battery reset to see if that changes anything). I’ve also been noticing a slight hesitation when accelerating in what seems to be sputtering at random times but usually around 25-45 mph. Almost feels like running out of gas or loss of power intermittently. Seems like it isn’t catching and is boggy. I almost feel like I can hear a slight hiss around the passenger side of the engine bay near the front of the car, but have yet to pinpoint it, and I’m not sure if I’m just hearing things.
I have a whole list of what I’m going to be doing over the summer for a full tuneup but would love to know where to start with this one specifically so I can pass emissions without replacing every possible part as of yet. I’m leaning towards the purge valve.
Super newb, but I’ve just absolutely fallen in love with this car and want to give it the tlc it deserves. Any help and resources greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
A woman who has never had a v8
