I have a 98 Civic EX Coupe. my check engine light goes on and I get it checked out, turns out the gas cap is faulty or some ish(not sealing) and I'm told to buy a new gas cap for $48.00, well being the poor college student I am, I deem this an unnecessary expense, so I make some calls and talk to a buddy who has a 97 Civic Coupe...not sure the model, anyway...he gives me his gas cap and we celebrate hard that night. umm...oh yeah, the check engine light is still on...what should I do?

 

hhhmmmmmmmm
have you tried the yunk yards ???

 

go back to the dealer and tell them to F*ck themselves and that you got a new gascap and it didnt fix the problem..

 

is your car under the warrenty or not ???

 

did you reset your ecu?
try resetting it first with the new gas cap
if the check light still turns on after, try one of the above statements

 

that's what I was thinking and will do that after I'm not drunk anymore.

 

resetting the ecu on an obd 2.1 car wont do much
