The problem was a p0456. That could be a lot of different things, including a gas cap leaking air. (It could also be a leak anywhere in the fuel system.) I bought a new OEM gas cap, as I'd been told that gas caps account for 90% of check engine lights with this number. Either it did not solve the problem, or I will have to disconnect the battery to see if it does, and I haven't done that yet. |
