Default I got a check engine light!

Man I was just bragging about how i've never gotten an error code after installing the supercharger and wouldn't you know it, it happened.

P0456 I'm thinking my $20 locking gas cap from autozone took a dump on me.

Are you getting a check fuel filler cap message on your dash display?

Ummm, no. Does it actually say that? The engine shaped light is lit, hence the check engine light in my original post. I pulled the code on my ride home using the aeroforce gauge.

p0456 has to do with the gas tank evap system. There's a small leak somewhere or the sensor is bad.

Reason I ask is because I had a check fuel filler cap message showing up on my 06 and the dealer had to clear it off. You mentioned the gas cap, hence my question.

The gas cap is just the most likely suspect with this code, that's why I mentioned it. Although I did do some off roading a few months ago so I'm going to check all the fuel vapor hoses under the trunk.

Well everyone says it looks like a 4x4 when stock. I accidentally ran off the road, not related to the picture below. That's just be getting to my house on a rainy day.

I had that problem a few weeks ago. The dealer cleared the codes and replaced something. I forget what it was called. Some sort of do-hickey.

I do it all the time. But that's b/c I live down a 2 mile dirt road. It sucks b/c the car stays dirty and the road is very rough which has introduced all kinds of squeeks and rattles. Not to mention what it's doing to my shocks.
