Remove your negative cable for 5 min. from your battery to reset the comp. code. Put it back on. Drive it. If the light comes on, go to your local auto parts store, Autozone or someone big like that. They'll do a free scan on the comp. for the code and get you moving in the right direction for fix!

Driving home last night... gas cap light comes on. I tightened gas cap, restarted car and light goes off...started car this morning and now check engine light on

The "gas cap light" actually does not mean the gas cap is loose or defective.It is telling you there is a leak in the fuel system somewhere,usually a vapor line or stuck or defective valve.Not very often is it the gas cap that causes the light to come on.Time for a scan and a smoke test to fine the leak.

I have a 2005 Jeep liberty and I recently lost my gas cap(4 days ago). My check engine light came on and I am wondering if it is due to the gas cap being lost. Going to buy a new one today.

Yes...the cap needs to be on there or the purge system will register a leak. The light may not go out right away but usually will after about thirty miles of driving. (computer needs to go through a complete self test cycle).

Check engine light, vapor canister, have any idea

I would start with the gas cap replacement and see if the issue resolves itself. If you do have a problem with the EVAP (canister) system, it may require tools the average person does not have to help diagnose and correct/repair.

Check engine light and check gas cap message is on in my 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 liter

Remove the cap and put it back on. Either the cap isn't tight, the cap isn't sealing properly or there is a leak in the tank or venting system. (start with the easy stuff first! Often the light won't go out till you have driven about twenty miles unless the computer codes are cleared with a scanner.

2002 jeep grande cherokee check engine light

A common problem on many of the new cars is that when a person gets gas, they don't tighten up the gas cap. This will turn on the check engine light. Did you get gas recently? Another option is to see what code is stored in the ECU that turned the light on. This is done with a scanner tool. If you do not have a scanner, then have a dealer look at it.

02 pontiac grand am

I have a 2002 grand am and less than a year ago had to replace cadalitic converter. The check engine light would come on once in awhile, and the car will start to bogg down. It started out as intermitent then eventually all the time. The smell may be the heating up of the converter.
