Gas cap off my a**!
I replaced my gas cap and still the car says I need to (put my gas cap on). Has anyone had this issue? Is it a pressure sencor that is bad, or do I need to reset my computer?

Professor, It could be one of many things. If the integrity of your EVAP Sysytem is breached then sometimes the DIC will have you check gas cap. You will need to really scan to see if any DTC'* are set. I'm assuming the SES light is not illuminated?

Your not speaking my language, but i'll try to answer. At first the check gas cap light came on, and then would go off, and so on for a couple of weeks. And then just stayed on The cap looked beat up (like you would expect it to work sometimes). After a while the check engine light came on. I then replaced the cap with a dealership cap and none of the warnings would go off. I was thinking that if you don't fix the problem for a while the engine light comes on. And at that point you would have to put it on a computer to get it to shut off. Either that or some kind of sensor is broken. What do ya think?

or you can unplug your battery for 10 minutes. (if you cant find an autozone)
The code will not go away by itself, in some case the PCM will do several test in optimal conditions before remove the code.
