Re: Check engine--gas related

Tell us, how does your wife get the 'check engine' light to go off once it comes on ????? This normally has to go through a cycle (which takes a while) or be reset manually.

Anyways....

Of course, you will have to get the code to find out exactly what the reason the light in coming on (In California you can borrow and OBD reader from Pepboys) in order to be sure but my guess would be that you have a bad gas cap. Gas caps are pressure/vacuum set and the computer will register the lack of such.
