got the CEL
Hey guys,

I just got a CEL like a few days ago and I was wondering if anyone could help me out here. Been on for like two days, and I changed my oil like earlier this week, and replaced my air filter as well. Resetted ECU, and it went away, but came back the next day. I asked some dude at my local dealer, and he said could be the gas cap. What do you guys think?

damn dude, if they charge in your area than it would be a good idea to just get your own code reader. It will make itself more than worth the investment.
