yeah, had the same problem. went to autozone, borrowed their code reader, and it said it was a fuel tank leak. I bought a new gas cap, installed it, and cleared the code with the code reader, and it hasn't been back since. it's worth it, to change the fuel cap, only cost 5 bucks. the code reader was free to borrow in the parking lot. happy new year.

I had that problem with my last gas cap - it 'clicked' long before it was really sealed, so it fooled me. The new one doesn't click until it means it and I haven't seen a check engine light since. FYI, I did learn on the old one to hold it in very firmly through those first clicks, then it spun a bit and clicked for real, that worked too. Have a happy.
