I did the CEL check last night and I got 9 long flashes...is that a 90 or a 9????? And what does that mean

 

that would be a 9, i forget waht code that is off the top of my head, could be the engine coolant sensor, but i am not sure

 

9 long would be 90. EVAP system leak.

Somewhere either in your gas tank or the EVAP system isn't airtight like it should be. This is the code you get if you forget your gas cap...

Let AutoZone read it with their code reader. Code 90 is either P1456 for the fuel tank system or P1457 for the EVAP canister system. Either way there's a bunch of possibilities to check out.

 

Are we talking about the gas cap??? or what

 

umm... read JimBlake's post again. his post already answered your question.

There's a handful of hoses, valves, & fittings back there in that EVAP system. A loose gas cap might not be the most common leak, but it's the easiest thing to check.
