#64 of 68 Re: 2007 yaris:engine light and gas cap issues [robertkn] by fredoniahead Dec 20, 2007 (3:42 pm)
Replying to: robertkn (Nov 02, 2006 6:40 am) I bought my 2007 Toyota Yaris April 2006. It has been a wonderful little car and still is. My 'check engine' light came on for the first time today. The car is running fine; I see nothing wrong at all. I, too, frequently get my gas at a BP station. That is an interesting tip. The next time I fill up I will see if it goes out. Other than that, I do not know what to do. The car is running great. I have checked the popular 'loose gas cap' issue, but that did not remedy the situation. Maybe disconnecting the battery terminals for a reset will work?. Replies to this message: familyman5746 (Dec 29, 2007 9:25 am) fredoniahead (Dec 29, 2007 9:42 am)

Replying to: fredoniahead (Dec 20, 2007 3:42 pm) The check engine light can come onin any car if you are using fuel from a high traffic gas station. They fill the tanks more often and will stir up condensation from the bottom of the storage tanks. I would recommend a product called HEET that will remove the moisture in your tank. The moisture can clog your injectors and cause the light to come on. Replies to this message: fredoniahead (Dec 29, 2007 9:42 am)

Replying to: familyman5746 (Dec 29, 2007 9:25 am) Thank you very much for the info. Fortunately, the problem has been resolved. I think I got some bad gas. After refilling and putting in a bottle of dry gas, the check engine light remained on even though the car is running perfectly. I unhooked the battery cable and the light went out. A reset, apparently. WHEW!!. How it started was a few weeks ago on a cold morning, my Yaris missed and kept shutting off. It finally worked itself out but hesitated at low speeds. I then put in fresh gas and the problem disappeared. I later learned that other people had the same problem at this particular station. I am not getting gas there anymore. Thanks for your input and advice. Cody

a huge flat piece of metal fllew under my car and made an explosive noise. When I pulled off road, metal had rolled up into a big ball. Do you know what this noise could be??
#68 of 68 engine light and shell gasoline by hotglassmomma Sep 15, 2008 (6:58 pm)
I rarely use Shell because last year we filled up with what turned out to be pure ethanol (their "mistake") and it wrecked the fuel system. I just finally gave in and went there again and what do you know, the check engine light stayed on (again) the next time I started the car. It isn't a loose cap, I have driven 150 miles since checking it and the light is still on. I hesitate to call a repair shop again. Any ideas?
