Default Check Engine Light

My check engine light is on in my 98 Accord V6. Manual says its a loose gas cap. It was reset by the dealer and then I added gas again and it continues to show up? Anyone had this issue before? Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Dumb question, but you sure you tighten it at least 3 clicks?

Bring it back to the dealership and tell them. I like making those dealership bitches work without me paying them anything.

Hey, why a new gas cap? How does a gas cap go bad? What are other reasons why the check engine light would go one?

Thanks for the info!

There are like 16 million reasons a check engine light may be on.
