Like the EVAP systems. Then that could have one code for like 5 things that could be wrong.- :

common jeep problem
You wouldn't believe it but it is a problem for the old Lexus owners too :-D they are too old to know when or how to tighten up their gas caps.
The other day I had a car come in for a leak of clear fluid. Which was where the AC drain, drained out. I laughed so hard because I wasted my time! HAHA

unspent fuel was shooting from the rx-7's muffler tonight. i put my hand down there and when i pulled it back it was dripping wet. something tells me the carburetor requires adjustment...
As stated, the OBD codes help a lot in pin pointing the problem.
Pull the code and have a look at the FSM (links can be found on this site) to assist in finding the exact problem. The FSM will give a step by step diagnosis procedure.

Is there anyway to diagnose the cause of a CEL if you don't have a OBDII device?

In the old days of OBD I, it was possible to use a paper clip to trip the computer to blink out the code via the CEL. But there are so many OBD II codes now, possibly into the thousands. No reason why the blinking couldn't work, though. But in practice I know of no OBD II car that does it.
Autozone offers free reader loans if you have one near.
