Check Engine Light

#1

Greetings,

Has anyone else experienced this problem? Whenever I get gas for my
2006 4 cylinder Ranger, the check engine light comes on the third time I
start it after filling. I then disconnect the battery cable to reset
the light and all is well. I've replaced the gas cap twice. Weird, huh?

#2

Are you filling up to the nozzle cutoff only?
If not, this may be the cause.

Thanks Chuck, but no. I never put in more than half a tank. No need to
carry the extra weight driving in the city.

The next step is to get the code read. without it, you will just be
guessing.
A guess is that something is wrong with the evap control system.
