I recently bought I 1998 escort zx2. The car seems to run great but every time I put gas in the car the chek engine light comes on. I went down to autozone the first time it happened and they told me that the error was my car running to lean. He told me that it wasnt that big of a deal. He reset the light and it was fine until next time I put gas in the vehicle. Like I said the car seems to run good but its really annoying for the light to always come on. Any ideas of what is causing this problem. Thank you any help will be apreciated.

I had heard the same thing but I am always sure to tighten it all the way is it possible I just need to get a new one?

The fuel caps hold pressure in the tank and if the relief valve in the cap is bad it release ozone destroying fumes. It's cheap enough and worth a try. I'm not sure if parts stores can test them or not.

You'll sometimes get the message when your air filter is dirty and in dire need of a good clean.
