the 2002 monte, gonna be the 6th time in less than 2 years what next...

Is your gas cap tight. A very common item that sets the CEL Without knowing
the code that set the CEL it could be anything. Your 94 Honda computer
doesn't check much of anything and could be spewing out all kinds of toxins
without any one knowing unless you are in an area with mandatory EPA checks.
The 2002 is OBDII and monitors all EPA mandated items very tightly so yes
you will see the CEL light a lot more in today's cars. It is like having an
EPA check every time you use the car....

Just about all car lines have switched to that but it still won't stop
service calls paranoia being what it is.....
