Check Engine Light

Jul 08, 2005 1 Replies

I have a 00 9-3 Convertible (in the US) and when I pulled in the office parking lot this morning the check engine light went on. My first response was to check the gas cap before I left for home this evening. The cap did seem a little loose so I took it off and put it back on making sure it was on properly. When I started the car the light did not go off amd since the car seemed to be running fine I started the 4 mile drive home. About 2/3 of the way home the light went off. Does this indicate the light was gas cap related? Since I don't have access to a code reader I was wonderin should I feel comfortable as long as the light doesn't come back on?



Thanks for your help.

Bob sounds to me it was your gas cap. If the light comes on again you can have your codes read for free at any autozone or parts store. good luck papa
