how many times do you guys click it?

17 times. Close the fuel door. Re-open it and re-check it. Turn it 17 more times. Close the fuel door. Then re-open it again just to re-check it. Then I go to the washroom and wash my hands 9 times. Make sure to bring a paper towels so you don't "touch" anything directly.

Then I watch Judge Whoppner. Only Fruit of the Loom's, and yes. K-Mart sucks.

Yes, but on which day do you have fish sticks?

I click 2 times but since I have a 1997 it does not matter.

To rule out the cap it needs to be pressure tested. In California every 2 years us older car owners have to do a smog inspection, and as part of that inspection the cap is pressure tested on the smog machine. Don't know what is done in other states.

So, I would rule out the cap so you could look elsewhere. If it is pressure tested in your state and the dealer that did the recall is near and the dealer has a smog machine, then maybe the dealer will test it as a favor.

If you can rule out the cap then report back.

well i assumed its the gas cap, i keep getting 0446 message i believe, and i looked over on renntech and it seems thats the 1st place to look, and it seems like that it comes on only after fueling up.
