Check Engine light

[snoozebutton]

I've got a 2000 Ford Ranger and the check engine light came on 2 days ago. Oil pressure looks good, alternator looks good, and engine temp is in the normal range. Anything else I should worry about with this? Would a poorly fit gas cap cause this to come on? I ask because mine seems worn out and doesn't seem to get a good seal.

It would be more then likely emmission related, a gas cap would cause this. Best to bring it in to get what code is in it, just to be safe.

The gas cap could be a culprit, but you should get the code read to see what it is. I think most of the auto parts stores will read the codes for free. I would then post it up here and the experts will chime in.

Thanks guys!!! I'm heading to town tomorrow so I'll see if NAPA can check it out for me.

If not gas cap, DPFE would be my second guess!

Good luck!

I second the DPFE.

I'm going to go out on a limb and vote for lean O2's, both banks!
