Check Engine code 90
CEL is throwing code 90 which is "90 Evaporative Emission Control System leak detected in the fuel tank area." I tried replacing my gas cap, but the code still came back. Anyone ever got this code before? Could I have a hole somewhere else in my gas tank or something?

yeah what does this have to do with anything? I had this same problem with a 99 civic coupe i would just have to keep reseting the ecu and it would go away for awhile, then come back. I also tried to replace the gas cap like the dealer said and no luck...

no haven't installed any amps recently. when i reset the ecu, it just throws the code again. i tried replacing my gas cap, still comes back in like a day after i reset ecu

On Integras and Civics (most cars, actually) the fuel lines run underneath the driver's seat. You get the wrong installer that doesn't know jack about cars and starts drilling holes though your floorboard and eventually, he's going to hit something, like an evaporative fuel line (I've seen it) which will throw your code 90. Or in the back, a bad installer can drill right into the fuel tank (seen that too).
numotive, since you say you haven't had one installed recently then you may just have a leak somewhere in one of those lines that runs from your fuel tank and back. Most shops have a diagnostic tool for this that blows smoke into the lines at low pressure, allowing the leak to be visible to the technician. You can try to do a visual check yourself if you want to get under there, but if the damaged isn't obvious, it may be difficult to find the leak.
