still a daily driver.

except that the CEL came on. passed smog on saturday...with a new non-porsche gas cap. then on the following tuesday the CEL comes on!

Yes, it is probably the gas cap. I had the same thing happen last month when I replaced the cap with a Stant gas cap and got a P0455 cel. I replaced it with an OEM cap and the cel has not come back.
