Is anyone aware that if your gas cap is loose it makes the check engine light come on? The main computer interprets this out of normal parameters pressure reading as a leak. Therefore a problem and perhaps a hazard! Check engine please!! With the nerve damage and weakness in my hands the gas cap, removal as well as replacement, during the fueling process is problematic. Amazing this hasn't happened before. Note to self: Those leather work gloves that you keep in the car? Wear them! Not only will it make gassing up easier on your hands, you'll be able to replace the gas cap properly. Doh.

That is good to know - when that light comes on, it usually means something that costs over $350!
Make sure you hear that magic number of 3 clicks when you replace the gas cap!
It would have been much more fun to spend $80 on shoes!
That happened after we had the Mazda for a week or so. I was livid and then relieved to find out the fix was that simple.
It was a much shorter drive for me though maybe five miles.
Glad to hear it was nothing more serious.
