Funny, I just had that pop up, but had no code. I made sure the cap was snug, and it hasn't come back yet. Yesterday, I did notice my car almost stalled after starting it, lol. It could be P0496, in which the EVAP purge solenoid is the culprit. I checked mine, and I couldn't blow through it. Easy to check it (2 min. or less). So we don't play the guessing game, we need the code.
What are your mods, and did you recently tune your car?
