Re: Z24 Engine light

Re: Z24 Engine light

weird, i drove around without a gas cap for 4 months and my check engine light never came on, but i do know it does not shut off the instant the problem is fixed, if the gas cap was your problem, the light may shut itself off sometime tomorrow.... but he's not kidding, that could very well be your problem

Any car parts/car maintenance store/shop? I'm sure if you ask around a store or even a small repair shop they'll do it for you for free.
