Good morning,

Okay, stupid Boxster trick #1. I know good and well my 00 Box shouldn't be in the automatic car wash anyway, but thanks to Northern VA being perpetually under construction, I had an emergent need for a wash Saturday morning. All was well, however, as soon as I pulled out of the wash, I realized that my check engine light had come in while I was in there.

My guess is that perhaps the pressure of the car wash triggered a sensor.

My other stupid Boxster trick of the week was my failure to replace my gas cap after refueling last Sunday. I saw in my rear view mirror my gas cap flying rapidly down Route 1 in Stafford. Ugh. Anyway, that same day the nice man at AutoZone was able to get me a replacement, however I understand that since the gas cap was off the majority of the day that the forced air could very likely cause my check engine light to come on. (why didn't it come on when I started up without the gas cap anyway?!!!).

Help! The car operates just fine and dandy, and my guess is one of the two stupid Boxster tricks has triggered my check engine.

Any thoughts? Thanks!!!!
