Default Engine Light Relapse

Ugh, I finally got the light to turn off.....

BUT then 80 miles later.........DING!! THERE IT IS AGAIN!!:madfawk:


WTF!??!?!?!......


The last time i read it (using the paperclip/flashing light method) it ended being "Evaporative Emmissions System Control Leak in the gas tank area" but the car was running fine and my gas mileage was the same....

What the hell is wrong....

It means you don't screw your gas cap in enough.

Double check your gas cap, it the light doesn't go off...I suppose that you could just reset your ECU.

it's got a leak, what's the exact code? The reason it comes on after 80 miles or whatever is because it's a two trip code. If you post the code i'll try and help u
