A-series nailed it. tho i already found my manual and found out it takes a few days. However, it hasn't gone out yet so i will try the fuse trick to see if it goes back on when i replace it. The cap was loose when it went on, so thats gotta be it, tho i do still worry since it's on after 3 days still.

the little yellow engine does NOT say "check" in it, and i think the icon is dual purpose....icon with no "check"=gas cap or emissions issue, icon with "check" in it=check engine. The pic in a couple posts above is a different model then mine.
