I believe you're refering to the "CHECK FUEL CAP" icon. Continued driving with that may cause the "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" light to come on, also.

That's described on page 11, I beleive, of your Owners Manual; that thing in the glove box made of cardboard and paper with all kinds of black symbols and pictures all through it (yeah, I know; it doesn't have ANY of the pictures that I like to look at either...).

I've missed your posts Nuke. Always funny to see common sense applied with a steel gauntlet

Redfire, I know you too well to take that the wrong way. But since dB seems to have been slightly.... neutered... SOMEBODY has to pick up the slack.

Yeah, and considering that I often dish it out, I don't mind getting some back.
