Hey everyone:
Well, I just got the Check Gas Cap message that I remember seeing posted on here a few months ago.
Is there a fix for it?
I would hope so.
Let me know.
Thanks!

I searched, and found lot'* of posts with your same issue. You could try what these guys did. Clean the filler neck, check the valve.

From when i worked at the chevy garage the first thing we asked the customer was if they filled the tank with gas while the vehicle was running and if the cap was not put on tight or left off. Then we checked for evap leaks. If the cap is ok and and the stuff above is not the reason. If more than likely a evap leak.

I thought it might have been a vapor lock or the equivalent, so took the gas cap off and put back on several times...
I thought it may have had something to do with bad gas, so I went and filled it up with gas - took the cap off and put back on...
So yeah..... LMAO
Make sure the filler neck and the cap gasket are VERY clean. Grit or sand will break the seal and set off the code. Try some light grease on the cap gasket and drive it for 300 miles or so and see if the light goes out. That was my problem on my 2002 and wife'* Explorer.
