I drove around for 3 weeks before takin my car 2 the dealer to find out what this meant. I hadn't been paying much attention to the check engine light and looked at the dash 2 miles from the dealership and it was off! I took it in anyways because my buddy works as a mechanic there. He plugged it up and turns out it was a loose gas cap. Fine. Well I've been sure to always tighten it but it came back on again. Anyone else have this lose gas cap problem? Am I over fiilling it?

you guys are lucky mine was more severe than the gas cap.the 2 pre cat o2 sensors went bad and had to be replaced.luckily it was free(waranty)good luck with yours..
Been there ... done that! Fortunately in the USA emissions are covered for a longer time/miles than the 4yrs/50K miles.
