Last night Code 90 came on, which is

Evaporative Emission Control System leak detected in the fuel tank area

I checked my gas cap, it was on tight(I always do 3 clicks). And it's still on, even after a long drive to work. What should I do.

 

Do a search, I had an old post with the same CEL 90 problem. My light is still on, but it could be several things:
gas cap
EVAP canister under the battery, check the connections
Cat. Converter

NOt sure, which is wrong on mine, don't have the $ to fix it right now. Let me know after you troubleshoot if you fixed it.

 

looks like you got code 92

 

My bad, I guess you have it narrowed down to the fuel tank area, so go buy a new gas cap....

 

yea i think i will, i dont see how a gas cap could go bad though

 

Reset the ECU and see if it comes on again. If it persists, take it to the dealership.

A friend's ITR had the same code. They either replaced the gas cap or the EVAP two-way valve. Can't remember.

 

cool, ill do that. im assuming they will replace either of them under warranty, correct?

 

I should hope so, otherwise they'll have a huge law suit and penalties slapped on them.

 

Silver B18...let me know how you fixed it, I think my cel code 92 is a similar problem and I want to know how much the EVAP parts cost
Thx

 

ok i will, i probably go down to acura this weekend. im still under warranty so hopefully i wont have to pay anything

 

hmm i just reset the ECU and the CEL is gone. ill find out for sure tomorrow on the drive to work to see if its gone for sure. ill keep ya posted

 

After you reset it, it takes 2 days for it to come back on. At least that's what happened to me.

 

hmm i hope not.

well so far so good. after my 70 mile drive to work the CEL is still off.

 

Try filling the tank to full...with gas, of course. That might induce the problem again.

 

Damn, 70 mile drive to work, that's a long *** commute

 

yep, but you get used to it

 

just filled up with a full tank of gas and drove 70 miles home, still no CEL

 

Until it comes up again, there's no case and really no point to bring it to the dealer....unless there's a specific recall on whatever part(s) that are affecting it.

 

right, after 140 miles and its still off, i think its safe to say its fixed.

 

Keep me updated, I think it might still come back on. I'm curious to see what the dealer has to say.

 

FAWK!!!!!! its back on.....

i think its the gas cap

but ill goto the dealer tomorrow to see what they prescribe me

 

Dude, I told you the fawkin light is pissing me off. You're under warranty so put it on the dealer and get back to me...

 

yea, ill get back to you guys tomorrow. hopefully its just the gas cap

 

grrrrrrrrrrrr this is fawking pissing me off, honda/acura doesnt do diagnostics on saturdays. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and theres no wat for me to take it on the weekdays. you think think i should just go pick up a new gas cap and see if thats the problem? if not them im stuck

 

I would get an OEM gas cap, not one of those Pep Boy caps. I got one of them for my CRX and they sucked, never fit tightly.
