Until the problem causing the check engine light to go on is fixed. It might not be the gas cap, or the one you replaced it with could be wrong.

Have the computer checked for stored codes. This will give a clue as to which sensor is triggering the "check engine" light. Many auto parts stores will check the codes for you at no charge.
How long does it take for the check engine light to go out after replacement in 1999 Si Civic?
This is not a question that someone should be asking as there are numerous trouble codes that will illuminate the check engine light. You dont "replace" the check engine light. You fix what's causing the light to come on, then reset the engine computer by pulling the main fuse under the hood. If you've properly taken care of the problem causing the light to come on then the light won't re-light. It's always best to reset the engine computer as a first step as sometimes the engine will do something to illuminate the light then resolve itself. Normally on an older Civic the cause is a worn out O2 sensor.
When you were changing the oil in your Mazda rx 8 you cranked it with oil cap off now check engine light is ondid i hurt the engine?
As long as it was full of oil when you cranked it, you did no damage whatsoever. The check engine light came on because the ECU detected a problem with the emissions system which was the cap missing. Have the check engine light reset and you will be fine. You can disconnect the negative battery cable for 5 minutes which may or may not reset the light. If not, it will have to be reset with an OBD2 scan tool.
