About a month ago my check engine light went on. I stopped into a place like Pep boys and they determined it was a defective gas cap which I replaced. The light went out. Last week, the light came back on and I replaced the cap AGAIN, but this time the light didn't go out. Any thoughts?

The CEL will not automatically go out immediately after a fault is cleared. It can take several driving cycles.
You really should get the codes read when there is a CEL to help determine what the problem is. Just because the CEL is on doesn't mean it is the gas cap. However, not tightening the gas cap is the most common cause of triggering the CEL.

By next week the CEL may be off if things are ok again. But they might be able to pull codes.

Hi There, Can anyone help? I have a Diesel 2008 S40 R-Design with a manual gearbox and it is hard selecting reverse. There is no crunching and the clutch does not slip. What can it be? Thanks.
