So I was driving my 99 Passport yesterday and the Check engine light comes on. I am pissed since I just replaced the ABS pump solenoid a week ago ($292), and the other day the 4wd popped out (transfer case popped into neutral while in 4wd). So I take it to Autozone and they run a code, Evap Can Emissions, in other words, gas cap loose or faulty. Well it had been over 200 miles since I put fuel in, so I check it out. Well the cold weather cracked the threads on the cap when I tightened it down, so I had to get a new one today. I know it is an EPA thing with OBDII to have the gas cap functional and not venting to the atmospher, but why through a check engine light. Make a simple little light that say "gas cap", or just "cap" if it is not secure. Anyone else have this problem.

PS- At Autozone, I had to push the buttom to erase the code to shut the light off. The guy said Autozone got sued by the EPA for resetting Check Engine lights on car at the owners' requests. Stupid.
