Do you find that your check engine light appears and then disappears without you doing anything?
There could be a good reason, one being we often neglect or never would think to check.
Would you think it could be your gas cap? Yes, your gas cap can cause your check engine light to come on.
Like every other aspect of your vehicle, your gas cap wears and tears over time, even losing its rubber seal. This too, can lose gas mileage, without ever thinking the cause is your gas cap.
Fortunately, you can easily replace a gas cap affordably. So let's not forget about our gas cap, as it can play a significant role in causing panic or costing money!
The next time your check engine light appears, take a moment and think as to when you last checked your gas cap!
