I have read some postings that this may be from a loose gas cap but I checked and the cap was firmly seated. We cleared the code and the check engine light stayed off.

Any suggestions at where to start trouble shooting within the emissions system?

BTW, the car seems to be running just fine.
Mine does the same thing about once a month, and has for a year, I just reset the code with a scanner, and everything works fine. (98 2.4 4cyl)
