Have an auto parts store do It for free or pull the battery and let sit for 10 minutes (will need radio code after and reprogram seats, presets)

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.

Your gas cap light came on then check engine where is your reset button on a 2001 ford mustang?

There is no reset button or procedure for the Check Engine light. The CE light is reset with an OBD2 scan tool. If the gas cap was just loose, then just tighten it, (3 clicks), and after you drive for a few driving cycles the CE light should go off. If it does not then the loose gas cap may not be the problem. This will require the ECU to be scanned with an OBD2 scan tool.

Why is your check engine light still on after replacing the gas cap?

You replaced the cap and it will take quite a few driving cycles for the light to go off if that was the culprit. Try disconnecting the negative battery cable for 5 minutes and that might reset the light.
