I have a 2003 vibe with the 1.8L. It is NOT the GT or AWD.Im new and kinda browsed this fourm but i didnt see any one asking this but im sorry if it is a repeat.About a year ago the check engine light came on so I took it to autozone and got the free OBDII check and it came up with 6 codes all about some emissions failure and the guy said it was a vaccum leak. i just told him to erase it and though it was just a fluke. about 3 weeks later it came on went to autozone, it was the same 6 codes. I told him to leave them on and take it to the dealer. cost me 60 bucks for them to erase them since after having the car for 2 days they didnt find anything wrong with it. about 3 weeks after that it comes back on go to auto zone same 6 codes. We both stand there clueless. Then I told him to erase them. about a week later it comes on again. This time i think its the gas cap so i buy a new one from the dealer. and by know i just disconnect the battery for 3 minutes hook it up the code is gone. about 2 weeks later it comes on again still same 6 emissions codes. so every since then i just drive around with the check engine soon light on.I do close the gas cap tight usally about 3-5 "clicks".So do guys here know anything about these 6 codes.

I forgot to mention that I have noticed a pattern, Every time i go below a half tank of gas the light does come on if I erased the codes before hand.

take it to a dealer that is able to do an emissions smoke or leak test.if you did the cap, something else is leaking, and if you 1st dealer is too stupid try another.
