Thanks bro... that hissing noise when I open the cap is exactly what I have!! Problem solved thanks so much! NOBODY on the whole dam internet ever bothered to explain how air relates to the gas cap except you. 😂That was exactly the piece of information I needed to solve my Corolla engine light problem.

Very informative. My check engine light came on today and so far everything seems to point the gas cap. Mine makes that noise sometimes but not all the time. So I’m guessing that means my gas cap is still faulty and it is finally triggering the check engine light? I have a locking gas cap I’m going to take it off tomorrow and put the stock one back on and see what happens. do I have to take off the negative terminal and reset the check engine light or will it go off automatically once I change gas caps? Thanks for your help.

My gas cap stopped clicking about 2 months ago, didn't think much of it, it still felt like it tightened. Then a couple weeks later, my check engine light turned still on. So I bought a new gas cap, the NEW gas cap didn't click either. I tightened it as much as I could and went on my way. I don't notice any performance changes at all but my check engine light is still on. Any advice?

Wuddup Willie. I have a 2005 toyota camry. My service engine light now remains on. Everytime I pull the fuel door release switch to open the fuel door the gas cap is loose. I turn it until it clicks several times and close the fuel door but when I pull the switch again right away and check the cap it be loose. Do you know if when the switch is pulled to open the fuel door does that automatically loosen the cap for convenience or could my gas cap be malfunctioning?

Very informative video, thank you ! My check engine light came on with my 2006 Toyota Tundra truck. I do believe it is the gas cap but the code says PO333 which is supposedly the Knock Sensor 2. Circuit High Input (Bank 2) issue(s). Is it possible the loose gas cap could cause this particular code reading instead of the “loose cap “ code of another number ? I will buy a new cap today but I would please like to know the answer as you are a very knowledgeable mechanic ! Thank you
@fairautorepair27873 жыл бұрын
I owned a Lexus ES350 and had to change the knock sensors on it. On that engine it was best to replace both knock sensors and a knock sensor harness at the same time so that I would not have to go back in and repair second time. Toyota make good vehicles, that car had 230,000 miles and it ran smoother than any other vehicle i ever owned.
