LOL....so I went and tighten the gas cap and it worked. Thanks BC. I am still curious why a loose gas cap would throw a CEL though lol.
First thing to check with CEL is the gas cap.

The car is designed to do that. Would be nice if there were a "check gas cap" light.

Is your sac loose too, that's why you revived a dead thread?
From what I've read, the VSA will be disabled if CEL is on... Can't
find anything to verify this though..
I don't know dude, did my sac seem loose to you last night?

BTW, I have a ODB2 CEL reader.
Anyone in OC needs their codes read, bring me a can of
ROCKSTAR and you can use it.

I also thought you had to do 3 warm up cycles...... so off/on doesn't work.
I know my wife just called a few weeks back saying CEL in her jeep, 3 Days later it was gone.

my gf's civic had a CEL couple months ago.. it gave a catalytic converter inefficiency code.. i cleared and kept driving just hoping that the O2 sensor was just hiccuping or something... CEL came back on 2 weeks later.. read same thing ... friend told me to just drive the car as hard as i can on the freeway for about 2-3miles and it should blow out... sure enough CEL never came back on..
