Why does check engine light keep coming on?

replace your gas cap first - cheepest try. i had a crack in a vacuum hose that made it keep coming on. You have an emssions problem of some sort. It may be the gas cap and could be many other things. Unless you are knowledgable, take it to a professional if a new gas cap does not fix it. BTW, a loose gas cap will cause the light to come on. Tighten it 3 clicks.

If you've replaced the cap and it's tight, you've probably got a hose loose or off on your vaporization system. That's the canister that filter the vapor from your fuel tank. That will also make the light come on. Check all the hoses under the hood and make sure they are all tight. Give that a shot.

This sounds crazy.......your gas cap must click when you screw it on. After you have tightened your cap, disconnect your battery and wait 20 seconds and reconnect it. Your light should now be off.
