Is your gas cap properly twisted on. I know someone who a loose one and it cause the check engine light to come on- at least that was the diagnosis from a mechanic.

it was the gas cap, it wasnt screw'd on tightly. i think it loosened itself while i was driving cuz i remember tightening it really tight and my friend also checked it also when i left the gas station. And im not tryin to do burnouts. i dont wanna ruin my clutch and the tires.

ya in the manual it says that it will take a few trips till the light turns off. but i drove it about 4 times yesterday (short trips) so it can turn off, and i have been opening and closeing the gas lid many times just to see if that would help me but the lights is still on.
