    Check Engine Light

    Had CEL being a pain a little while ago.

    If PepBoys tells you that it is a P0440 start by asking them to reset it and then crank your gas cap on and see if it comes back.

    Upon inspection I noticed that my gas cap was missing one of the white tabs on the inside. I ordered a new one from Merlin and have only had the light come on once in the last 4 months and after getting some gas and cap cranking it went out without a code reset.

    The only CEL I've ever gotten in the VX was from a dirty MAF sensor.

    Tom I agree with Bart. I get p1404 code alot and just reset it.

    Scangauge II is your friend and easier alot of my worries. Going on 140k myself. If you havent cleaned your EGR then I am guessing its that.
