Hi:

I got a CEL on my 2001 boxster - code P0442 as read by pepboys. The guy said most of the time its a loose gas cap. I tightened the gas cap but the CEL does not go away. Is it dangerous to drive on with this error?

The CEL is not flashing and the engine runs great. I just spent $$$ on some other repairs and would like to postpone the expense for CEL as long as possible. But I do not want to damage the engine. Any thoughts?
