Just as a rough guess, I would say that I have dealt with a CEL about
100 times, including other people's cars.
In at least 9 out of 10 cases, either tightening the gas cap or
replacing it solved the problem.
I remember working with a lady who had a minivan that would not start.
My first question, as always, is whether it had gas in it. She said yes,
but no gas cap.
I sealed the opening with my palm, had her crank it and it started up
after a few tries.
She had been driving around for several days without the fuel cap. I
told her, in a nice way, that it was a pretty vital part of the fuel
system.
