You need to diagnose any codes you get
& smoke test the evap system, to find a
problem

Seldom does throwing on parts with a name similar
to a code work

Codes have nothing to do with installing parts

Clearing codes, clears all data needed to diagnose
the failed system & the evap system only runs every few
days,so you done as far as codes helping

SOURCE: my 06 navigator bgan to sputter and loose power,

This is caused by a misfire, if you have the compuetr scanned there will be codes that will point you to the problem, there are many auto part stores that will scan it at no charge, this are famous for bad coils, you may have a bad coil or two, this truck has a coil for each cylinder, when they scan it it will say for example code # is po301 cylinder 1 misfire detected. then you would know that # 1 is the misfiring cylinder, and the most common problem would be the # 1 coil,hope this helps.

SOURCE: check engine soon light on

The light means pretty much what it says. This light is a warning to let you know that your Engine Management System is malfunctioning. The onboard computer will need to be scanned to find out which of the many systems monitored by your computer is malfunctioning.

Check fuel cap light coming on, replaced twice - still on. ideas?

It sounds like you have a large evap leak. The cap is most likely not the cause. You could have a hole in any numerous evap lines or in the fuel filler neck. Also the canister vent solenoid could be malfunctioning. Your best bet is to have an emissions certified shop test the system with a smoke tester. They need to have a scan tool capable of actuating the canister vent solenoid.

2009 crv check fuel cap

Go to the parts store where you bought the cap. Sometimes the code clears on it's own and sometimes you need to have it reset. If this is not an option disconnect the negative battery cable for a minute. Just as a warning, if you disconnect the battery you will have to reprogram most all of your electronics.

FUEL CAP LIGHT ON

Hi:
The check fuel cap light is tripped when your cap has been loose or off, and the engine is running. Often you need to have the light reset by a code scanner. If you have checked the cap and it is secure, if you reset the code and it comes back, you possibly need a new gas cap.

2006 Saturn Relay Check Engine Light

PO455 is a large evaporative fuel leak. A bad fuel cap is ONE of the things that COULD be the problem. Fuel system cleaning only lightened your wallet. Reading your post is confusing. Did all this start AFTER the Valvoline Wallet Flushing? If so , they left something loose or disconnected. I would find a qualified repair shop to fix the problem, and if it has anything to do with what Valvoline did, make them pay the bill.

2006 pt cruiser, check engine light came on. Shortly after, gas cap light. Replaced gas cap and reset. Today bith lights came on again.

are you fueling car with key "on"? That will cause light to come on. Disconnect battery for 1 hour and this will reset "keep alive memory" and clear codes from memory. Drive car for 10 miles so computer can relearn engine parameters. It may run rough during this period.

Check engine light keeps coming on replaced gas cap already

Your problem is in the evaporative emission system which is designed to prevent the escape of fuel vapors from the fuel system. Leaks in the system, even small ones, can allow fuel vapors to escape into the atmosphere. The light coming on can be caused by one of the following:

1. Defective or loose fuel cap
2. EVAP canister or hose cracked- not connected
3. Purge or vent solenoid defective
4. Vacuum leak at engine Government regulations require on-board testing to make sure that the evaporative (EVAP) system is functioning properly. The leak detection system tests for EVAP system leaks and blockage. It also performs self-diagnostics. You have tried the easy fix, the gas cap. Finding the leak now will require special equipment and testing procedures, might be better left to a professional.

Please let me know if this information is helpful. Positive feedback is appreciated. Thank You!

Check engine light

the only way you can retrieve these codes is with a code reader. it's cheaper than a scan tool. problem with these is it only reads the codes and the booklet tells you what the code means but it can't clear the code and it can't change the parameters to keep the codes from coming back. do me a favor and rate this ...thanks
