My filler cap also loosens by itself and causes the check engine light to go on. I am on my 3rd cap and continue to have sporadic problems with it loosening on its own. When the check engine light goes on, I get out of the car and sure enough the cap is loose. It takes a couple of days for the computer to reset itself and the engine light to go off. Very annoying.
Engine light keeps coming on & then car will drive rough. I have taken it in 3 times already for same problem, they told me to make sure gas cap is on tight and not to over/under fill with gas I have been doing as told and the problem is still present for the 4th time. Car was purchased on August 2002.
