RE spark plugs all replaced

Yes all plugs are replaced gonna drive it longer distance in awhile, also tried placing hand over the oil filler cap and found that there is only a slight change in the idle and only slight leak appears car does not die keeps running good for most part.

Get an OEM gas cap for the replacement, most after market gas caps throw codes when band new. These cars are very temperamental when it comes to the EVAP system.

You test the AoS by trying to remove the oil filler cap with the car running; if the AoS is leaking, you will not be able to get the cap off..............
