Hello,
Can anyone tell me a way to clear the engine fault codes other than
disconnecting the battery on a '98 Malibu. I believe the check engine light
is on because of my worn out gas cap. I installed a new cap but the light is
still there and I don't want to wait the reportedly 60 or so ignition cycles
to see if it goes out.
There are no driveabilty problems now and the gas mileage is still the
same.

Thanks,
Bruce

OK,
Thanks for the help. By the way, after I installed the new cap and it
went through the drive cycles the check light engine did indeed go off.

Thanks for the help. Also the new cap did the trick, light went out after
going thru the necessary cycles.
