Error Message: Fuel Filler Cap Open / Loose
OK so this is kind of worrying me. I have gotten this error twice, after I got my ECM fixed. I never had this problem before I replaced the ECM. The error goes away after it was on for about a minute and a half. The error happened both times when I was on my way home on the same tank of gas, and I haven't gotten any gas between both times this error came up. So when I got home the first time, I unscrew the gas cap and put it back in, making sure that it clicks. Well last night this happened again and I decided to do some investigating... I wiggle the gas cap while it was still on the spout, with the car off, and it seems that it was on good and tight. I turn the car on and I don't have any errors. So, then I turn the car off and I go unscrew the cap and I don't really smell any fumes until I am about 2 - 3 inches away from the spout, that is after I have taken the gas cap off. With the cap on, I don't smell anything. I am pretty sure that's normal, but I can be wrong. What do you all think this could be? Could it be back pressure or is there something else that is causing this error to come up? Or could it have been that I got a bad batch of gas? If so how do I get it out? I mean the car is running great, but I am not sure what is causing this error to come up.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Neat! Here I am using a smoke machine for my movie, and they are using it for cars. I wonder if they are similar (as far as the product they used to create the smoke). Well you learn something new every day!
Thanks Tech for your quick response. I will let you know what happens when I am able to get it in the shop.
