wait longer. may take up to 35 key starts (with driving) to reset
light - computer needs to see no problem for a while.

nest time make sure cap is tight! Do not remove cap with key on or car
running.

I have a 2.0 liter 4 cyl 96 Contour with 57,700 miles on it. The check
engine light recently came on. Both the manual and my trusty internet
research have led me to believe it was a loose gas cap. When I checked, it
was a little loose, definitely not closed so that it "clicks".

I've tightened it, but the light is still on, and 3 days and 5 car starts
have passed. Is it supposed to go out? Should I have it checked anyway?

Thanks
