i was throwing a cel so i went to go check it out, the stealership said im throwing a code for my gas cap... cant remember the actual # of the code but i heard its common if you have aftermarket gas caps but mines oem never changed

just curious if anyone else has had this issue before?

 

never heard of that..........thats weird.........there either completly making **** up, or this really exists

 

Very common. Just make sure your cap's on straight and tight. Any loss of pressure in the gas tank will throw a code.

That's normal. It's part of the emissions system (I think under ODB II), so it'll throw a CEL if "disabled" i.e. left loose.

 

Very common for OBDII. Loose cap is common. If you keep throwing the code then there's a leak in the EVAP. system of your fuel tank. If just installed a stereo then hopefully you didn't tap a screw into the gas tank. Very expensive mistake and will not be covered under warranty. Make sure you cap is tight when you refill. After they reset the code it will take 2 full cycles for the CEL to come back on again if the system detects a leak. Hopefully it's just the gas cap. But the EVAP system for OBDII is a pain sometime to isloate and fix because it takes 2 full cycles to get the light to come on.

 

my car is all stock... its only got 10k miles on it, I took it to a Nissan dealership i figured Infiniti would act stupid about it and thats what they told me it was

 

Just keep an eye out on the code that it's setting. If it comes on again then tell the service writer it's the same code and i made sure the gas cap was tight. Tell them to try again with that excuse...=o)
