First make sure your gas cap is on tight. If you start your car a couple times after that & the light does not go out. It is most likely an emission problem. or sensor or something of that nature. Note that most emmission warranties on most cars are good for about 7-8 years or 80,000 miles. If the light is FLASHING First check all your fluids, oil, trans. if automatic, anti freeze.On some cars even check the brake fluid. All of which should be checked on a regular basis any way. If all fluids are fine & the light is FLASHING, get your car to a trusted mechanic A.S.A.P.!!!!!!!!!!!

Check for rust around your gas cap intake. use steel wool to get rid of the rust and improve the seal. This usually gets rid of the EVCAP code.
