Will Check Engine Light Go Out After Gas Cap Light Goes Out?
This morning on the freeway I had to swerve violently then accelerate hard to avoid hitting a truck in front of me that had jammed on his brakes. Right after this I had a red "Gas Cap Off" warning on the dash which went out after about 10 seconds but a orange " Check Engine" warning still remains. The gas cap was snugged down properly and I had driven two hours before this happened. Will the check engine light reset on its own eventually or do I have to take the car somewhere to turn it off? Thanks...

If you have any OBD2 code reader, you can get the codes for this check engine issue. Autozone and others will do this for free. This will be the first clue to the problem, and solution.
These tools can also be used to clear the code, and therefore see if it returns. Some codes
are just random gremlins, some are real problems to fix.
Let us know what you find.

Now that we have that out of the way.
How do you like the Weistec airboxes? How long did it take for you to receive them from order date? I got the run around from them when I was ready to purchase.
