Bull dog, I wish it were always so easy as just a gas cap/ seal. On a brand new car I had two separate events several months apart due to a bad inlet air injector and then excess carbon on an eshaust port sensor. Fixed under warranty, but took 3 weeks total. Detailed writeups somewhere in this forum under CEL topics. Motoman
