A little heads up for those of you who ever get a Check Engine light on in your car. Don't check your engine, check your gas cap. Make sure it's on tight. There's nothing more embarrassing than taking your car to shop, the dude plugs in his laptop to the steering column to see what the light is on for, says, "huh," walks to the gas cap and gives it half a turn only to see the light go out. Now, you'd think, if the Check Engine light comes on for the gas cap, then why not just have a gas cap light? Heck I can even see, on my dashboard on a sunny day, a light that says "Gas" on it. And this isn't the low gas light either. That's the Check Gauges light. Anyway, what does the gas cap have to do with the engine? It's so stupid! To me, "check the engine" does not mean, "check the gas cap." Oh well, just a heads up for the rest of you. One man's mistake is another man's knowledge.
