check engine light is on~

[Undercover]

this happened to my wifes car, basically yea clear it and u should be good to go, its no big deal. hers happened 6 months ago we cleared it and its been running fine

i'm sure the gas cap is tight~ (have a click sound) ..... but the cel still on....maybe i need to change the gas cap

 

[Undercover]

btw....where i can buy a p5 gascap?

 

[SkinnyJoint]

if not a gas cap i think the other thing that can trigger that is the charcoal canister near the back right it has somthing to do with emissions but i dont know for sure..

i just brought the gascap.....so hope that work.....

.....i just tired about that cel.... ya.... same code is on.....i think i need take the car back to dealer... btw....if the intake is not tight.....is that cause that problem? (i think is the intake not tight...) oh....is the warranty cover that if i installed the injen intake ?

dont go to stealership and you void your warrenty by installin the injen intake. take it to a reputable garage and have them diagnose it.

if the intake didn't cause the problem, they can't void the warranty on the car, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise...there was a sticky somewhere abt the laws regarding voiding warranties b/c of mods, but essentially, if the mod didn't directly cause the problem, they can't void jack. But yea, b4 u take it, make sure everything's tight...however u've got an evap system leak. I always click the gas cap 3 times to make sure it's on...that may help

i can't remember how to spell this act...mengunson act for warranty and check the techincal mechanic (something) to see if you have common problem once you get a diagnostic reading. go to a garage first and ask them to diagnos it. let them tell you what's the reading. ask if you can take it to the dealer for warranty work and if the modification could possibly void the warranty. btw, they can tell how many times you reset the battery. i was shown the diagnistic reader thingie. it was amazing. it even shows how you drive, rpm behavior, speed behavior, etc. check your warranty paper work as well. it has fine print. read it. check your deductible as well. if it is under factory warranty it's one story, if it's under extended warranty, it's another story (engine repair is usually still covered). fyi, i did this and took it for extended warranty repair on an O2 sensor. it was completely free even w/ intake & ground wiring. just do your research and keep asking around and if you do take it in for warranty work; be prepared to make a valid claim that the intake did not make the check engine light turn on. fyi, you may run into a problem because you ran the car so long w/ the engine light on between CA and NV. good luck. peace out

did you reset the ecu again after you got the new gas cap and it was on tight? i am unclear if you reset the ecu by disconnecting the battery after the initial time you tried. if not, try it again after you tighten everything.....gas cap, intake etc.

i did reset my ecu when i install my new gascap....but the code is come out again....so i think is not the gascap.... so i think is the intake not tight....i'll check it today or tomorrow....
