E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
Just wondering what triggers the check engine light to come on.
I haven't had codes read, just like to know what it could be before I put the car away.
Thanks in advance
I doubt that. I dont have the gas cap on my car anymore. its just something that u screw on and u dont have to take off to re-fuel.
If it's loose, it will trigger a check engine light because of pressure. Death yours has that flap in it that seals is why yours works. Take it off completely once and see what happens. (we'll wait ..lol)
EDIT: just realized ur car isnt OBDII, u may try other things, like O2 sensor, MAF sensor...
Huh what does OBDII mean.
