CEL Code 90
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.

Re: CEL Code 90 (SilverB18C1)
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.

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.

Re: CEL Code 90 (laNk_LinK)
After you reset it, it takes 2 days for it to come back on. At least that's what happened to me.
well so far so good. after my 70 mile drive to work the CEL is still off.

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.
