You could try disconnecting the battery for ten minutes that would clear the engine light. If it clears the light then comes back on later then the loose cap was not the reason. ==Answer == More than likely the loose cap was the culprit. After a few driving cycles the light should go out. If it does not go out, you could take it to a Parts Store such as Auto Zone and explain what happened and ask them to reset the light. Then if the light comes back on you will know it was not the loos cap.
Hey Mona==Get it checked out before you ruin the engine. If the gauge is gound into the red there is a problem somewhere. If you ignore it you can ruin the engine which is megabucks. GoodluckJoe

The check engine or service engine soon light comes on to alert you that there is or was a problem with the emissions system on your vehicle. If the light comes on steady and stays on, it means that there is a problem and you should have it checked out soon.

Well, you know, I think that means you should get the engine checked - don't you? Find a mechanic.
