Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
It is a new thing all the cool kids are doing these days.
I hope you not in some way blaming me for your "Check engine light" I didn't ask you to stick your hose thingy down the filler.
Serious note I have this feeling it is a coincidence. If you look at the filler / line down to the tank if you see wires to a sensor then maybe but I have never seen a sensor in that area. Newer cars do tell you if you need to replace your gas cap. Wife's 2008 Commander (the one I was trying to transfer the gas out) did it to us, it has a dedicated idiot light that lite up and said "check engine gas cap." sure as shit simple fix. I believe the fuel system is closed loop and somewhere there is a sensor that tells the computer it has a pressure leak and figures it is the gas cap. Not sure how it knows it is that or a leak with the carbon canister or lines.
How far have you gotten to figure it out?
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"
My feedback
Formatting error being blamed on posting from cell phone.It is a new thing all the cool kids are doing these days.
It pressurizes the system and measures the drop of pressure. A large amount o pressure drop means it is most likely the gas cap since otherwise it would be a small hole elsewhere in the system. So a slower pressure drop. More of an educated guess then a "known" variable.
