Car Forum / Honda Cars / March 2006"Check Engine" light returns
My check engine light was on a few weeks ago, and although it took about a week, it finally went off, so I figured the problem must've been a loose gas cap or something. Well, after a few days, the light just came back on. I haven't refilled my gas tank or anything recently, so I'm afraid this is going to be an expensive problem. Any tips? >My check engine light was on a few weeks ago, and although it took >about a week, it finally went off, so I figured the problem must've >been a loose gas cap or something.

Take your car to Autozone and have them read out the codes; they will do it for free. That will give you a general idea of the problem. Yeah, Auto Zone gave me the code last time, so I knew the problem was with the EVAP system. It was code 1457, if I remember correctly (I could go find my original post, but I'm lazy). So now I'm hoping to figure out more specifics. Talk about duct tape. Do you mean to duct tape the gas cap threading? I'd think a teflon tape or plumber's tape would work better, if that was indeed the problem. or get a new gascap  SignatureKWW '65 Beetle (Jenny the IOC) '64 Beetle (TBD the Blue Wave) > Do you mean to duct tape the gas cap threading?

It's not a gas cap.. A P1456 would likely be a cap, but a P1457 is a leak between the tank and engine. canister vent shut valve , 2 way bypass valve, purge control solenoid or the hoses involved. Chip So when I tried to fill up my tank today, the pump kept automatically shutting off. I managed to coax it into giving me about half a tank, but it must've shut off a dozen times in the process. Think this is related? >So when I tried to fill up my tank today, the pump kept automatically >shutting off.

Could be a bad ORVR valve then Could it simply be that I tried to top off my tank and splashed gas where I shouldn't have? Thoughts, comments, suggestions? > Thoughts, comments, suggestions?
