My check engine light came on and it was the gas cap that was worn out. I went to an auto store and purchased a new one and its ok now. They said each make of car has its own cap specs and use only whats recommended.

First, you need to determine WHY the check engine light is on. It COULD be a faulty gas cap and if it is, be sure to replace with one EXACTLY like the one from the factory otherwise your check engine light will come on again.
Go to AutoZone (or other auto parts store) and ask to 'borrow' their code analyzer.
More details would be appreciated.

My 2002 chevy express van has no power, missing and running rough

Sounds like you got some bad gas. Be sure and let the station know right away. They may be on the hook to pay for repairs.
Take the van to a shop and have the computer checked for trouble codes.
The gas tank and lines may have to be flushed.

My van engin light stays on

The information below was complied by me, it explains what causes the check engine light to come on and the process of finding the cause.

When the Check Engine light (or Service Engine Soon) is turned on, the systems computer control unit (called the PCM) has sensed a fault in the electronic controls of the engine and/or the emission system. When this happens you will seldom feel the car engine run any different. There are about 200 possible system faults (the gas cap is just one of them) that turn the Check Engine light on, to know what has developed a problem you must have the system tested, this is called an OBD2 fault code test, Kragen/Oriley and Autozone parts stores (USA only) do this testing for free.

How to replace brake light in 2008 chevy express cargo van

You have to remove the upper applique to remove the tail lamp, it is the trim panel above the lamp. I think it is held in place by two nuts/bolts but not sure. You have to have the rear doors open to remove it

I have a 1998 ford windstar lx. i drove to a friends house, then when i left the house 45 min later the van was running rough. whent down the road abit then the engine light came on, then about a minute...

There are various fault code that the engine light represents. Get the computer scanned and see what exactly the problem is. It may be a miss fire, or it could also be something else. You said that you just put gas in it...double check the gas cap. Take it off and put it back on. If it is loose, that will set off an emissions code. Hope this helpls.
