Check engine light saga

Over the past year, the check engine light on my 2000 Boxster has lit
up about 5 times resulting in trips to the dealership.  This is not
only expensive, but a pain in the a.s.  Has anyone else had a
continuous problem with the air sensors or whatever that would cause
this?

Have you replaced the gas cap?  It'll light if you don't get it on
tight enough or if it doesn't seal properly (vapor recovery is
part of the emissions system.)

Thanks, I will try that.  The dealer installed a new one about two
years ago when the "recall" for that issue was in effect. I will give
it a try.

Disconnect the battery for 1 minute, light goes out. If light doesn't come
on, don't get ripped off at the dealer.
