Check Engine light on 1999 rodeo

My check engine light has been on for about a year now. I went to go to a diagnostic check on it, and the code said it was an "evap" leak, but when they tested it with smoke, no leaks were found. I replaced my gas cap, and that seemed to fix the problem temparily. About a month ago, the check engine light kept coming on and off 3 or 4 times, and now it is stuck on, with a brand new gas cap and a diagnostic check done twice on it. Any one have any idea how I can fix it? My inspection is due in a month and I got some trips to make in the summer with my truck and a trailer with my motorcycle. Thanks people.

That is a bit strange, I read about GM having a large recall on the intake manifold gaskets. I am going to see if i can replace that myself in my garage.

Re: Check Engine light on 1999 rodeo

Here is lots of info on replacing the IMG (thanks to Amigo-2k's FAQ)

Just remember the revised torque spec is 13 ft lbs. Use an inch lb torque wrench though since at that low setting the ft lb one will be very innacurate.
