Usually comes on after a fill up. after running about 40 miles check engine light comes on but goes off after a while. But the code is always stored in the ecu.

The previous owner was telling me about how he changed the gas caps rubber gasket with a gasket off a gas cap he bought from autozone. maybe the 2 gaskets are not compatible? would a bad gas cap cause this? i asked him why he did that and he said he wanted to keep the original gas cap because it looks more sturdy than the one cheap one he bought.

You can buy the gasket from dealer around $11.00. Cap is around $40...
